Providing access to health care for those who can't
afford it is a major societal issue. Financial support
is necessary for Hope Medical Outreach to maintain its
mission as a private initiative, charitable and educational
organization. Our goal is for all segments of the community
to share in the cost and responsibility of providing
care to those most in need and do not have access to
health care. Physicians, hospitals, dentists, pharmaceutical
manufacturers, and others contribute their professional
services as well as financial resources. Individuals,
corporations, government, service leagues and foundations
are also asked to participate.
