Global Health Network December Newsletter

Dear Healthcare Professional,

HOPE worldwide has been involved in medical missions around the world for 25 years, and God has blessed our efforts. Providing quality primary care healthcare is one of our signature attributes, and many doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists and other healthcare professionals have served in multiple capacities in our service sites. In addition to our primary providers, we have a great need for specialty and subspecialty colleagues to see patients, to teach, to train local healthcare professionals and to build international connections in our sites.

With so many professionals in our churches and communities worldwide, we have a great opportunity to collaborate with other specialists and healthcare providers to share our skills and insight to bring much-needed healing and health to so many. In some sites, we operate successful specialty clinics. In the coming year, many of our sites would like to host specialty care clinics in fields such as dermatology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, mental health, women’s health and nutrition.

Our Community Service Brigades continue the dedicated work of traveling to areas of need with medical services, supplies and medicines. They form valuable community partnerships sustained by many local and international volunteers who bring their special expertise and a heart to serve.

For example, we are currently searching for primary care, dental and mental health professionals to join the Brigade in Guatemala in February 2020. Please note: All volunteers need to register by 12/27/19.

Below are specific medical professionals needed in Guatemala:

• 1 Adult Medical Provider:
  • Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
• 1 Pediatric Provider:
  • Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
• 1 Dentist
