Healing the Children at a Glance

We are in our 30th anniversary year: we began in 1979 and incorporated in Spokane, Washington in 1981. We now have 13 Chapters, encompassing 23 states.

Since 1979:

  • In our International Inbound Program (bringing kids from abroad) we have helped 7,141 kids from 105 countries, speaking dozens of different languages.
  • Our Medical/Surgical/Dental/Special Project teams that traveled abroad have served 147,644 on scores of team trips.
  • Under our Domestic (U.S.) Program, 2,875 U.S. children have received free medical care or assistance.
  • 33,912 U.S. children have been served by our Special Group Projects.
  • That means, since 1979, 191,572 children have benefited from the generosity of our volunteer medical professionals, our hospitals, our host families, our donors and our countless other volunteers.
  • In our Sustainability Program, we initiate and join with others on projects that create lasting medical assets and resources for all needy children within a geographical area.
  • Each year we provide millions of dollars worth of gratis care on modest budgets. For every $1 we spend, we deliver $27 worth of care.

...due to the donations by hospitals, health care providers and numerous volunteers, medical supplies and services.
