In 2024 the New Hope Clinic completed its 20th year and we have taken care of more than 120,000 patients, many of them at no charge, thanks to the dreams of a few missionaries who looked at the need for medical care in this very poor community situated three hours from the nearest hospital.  We have managed to change and modify the health system in these some 55 villages.

​

In these very remote and poor villages, the inhabitants would many times die because of the lack of medical attention.  An emergency would often end in tragedy.  We have influenced the health of these communities and the impact has been very large not only in the area of medicine.

​

We were the first to open a dental clinic, where before young people had their teeth extracted due to the lack of this service, and used dentures from an early age.  We have been able to improve their lives, not only in terms of health.

​

We have also contributed to personal improvement with educational and motivational talks for school students, helping them to excel in their studies and find other employment besides farm work.  Many of these young people have seen changes in their lives thanks to the New Hope Clinic.

​

About 10 years ago, we opened a clinical laboratory, which has been a very useful tool in the diagnosis of many diseases. Thanks to timely diagnosis, we have saved many lives.  During the pandemic, we played a very important role.  We had the tools to diagnose Covid and, on many occasions, the medication to treat many patients.  When the vaccination program began, the clinic provided financial support for mass vaccinations to proceed in these communities.

​

In these 20 years, the clinic has also supported low-income patients who cannot afford to travel to Tegucigalpa to receive specialized care at the teaching hospital and other specialty hospitals.
