Mission/Vision
Mission Statement
The Virginia Hospital Center Medical Brigade believes that all people deserve access to quality healthcare. In Honduras, we increase access through high-impact interventions, education, and capacity building programs in remote villages. In this way, we deliver medical services to thousands of people annually, and we initiate and build sustainable public health measures that provide ongoing healthcare in impoverished communities.
Vision Statement
We meet the needs of underserved communities with ever-expanding, comprehensive, humanitarian healthcare interventions. We complement this aspect of our vision by empowering remote villages through community health worker training, health education, and the provision of clean water and sanitation systems. We envision a model where community health workers cooperate with local healthcare structures and empower their communities through public health education. We see our role as facilitators and supporters in developing sustainable independent community healthcare systems that can be replicated in underserved communities elsewhere.
