Our Vision
Healing Hands Mission is a not for profit corporation providing medical assistance to those who need it most.
Our current mission, every June, reaches out to a small region in the Eastern portion of Guatemala.

Why Guatemala
Health indicators reveal that Guatemala has the most significant differences among Latin American countries between the various population groups with the greatest disparity and challenges among the indigenous, the rural, and the poor.
Access to Healthcare
Guatemala has the highest rate of private expenditure in order to access healthcare than any other Latin American country. This statistic is reflected in the fact that poor, rural Guatemalans must pay cash in order to receive the most basic of health care needs.
