Healing the Children is a non-profit, non-partisan, volunteer organization holding a 501(c)(3) I.R.S. tax exemption, whose purpose is to help children throughout the world receive medical care unavailable to them due to lack of medical and financial resources or health insurance. Children are provided these services through three basic programs. Our Stateside Program has treated 5000 children alone. Healing the Children locates doctors and hospitals in the U.S. who are willing to donate their services, provides host families homes for the children when they are not in the hospital, and provides round trip airfare (which includes an escort) for each child. Our American Kids Program serves children in the United States and to date over 800 children in our local communities have been given a chance for a brighter future. Health providers are located to provide medical services to children who qualify for this program. In addition, Healing the Children provides advocacy services to children in our local area who lack proper health insurance coverage and need specialized medical care. Our Medical Trips Program sends surgical teams to developing nations to perform on-site surgery to people in need. Training and teaching programs established by our visiting physicians and nurses have enabled our organization to provide medical treatment to more than 66,000 patients worldwide. Approximately 20-25 medical teams are organized yearly. Volunteer physicians, nurses and support staff travel to different countries at the invitation of a host clinic, hospital or institution where they work collaboratively with local physicians and nurses to provide quality medical care. Since 1979, close to 75,000 patients have been served through our programs and the combined efforts of thousands of volunteers throughout the United States and abroad. There are currently thirteen Healing the Children chapters utilizing services in twenty three states and numerous countries. Please help us by making a donation!
