Health Care

"The welfare and the future of our societies depend on our capacity to remain mobilized so as to improve the health of every mother and child." ~ Jean Ping, President of the UN General Assembly

Micronesia Dental Support Project

Founded and directed by Board member Dr. Barry Staley, this project is aimed at supporting the dental services in Micronesia by recruiting teams of volunteer dentists to travel to Micronesia to conduct basic dental care in the outer islands. >>visit website

Community Clinics

The great distance over open ocean prevents regular access to adequate health care. We envision building community clinics and functional health clinics on the remote outer islands to support the health care needs of the most vulnerable...the children and women.

Health Education

We hope to send health educational materials and to provide health education training to the youth in the public schools and the outer islands.
