CAROLINA-HONDURAS HEALTH FOUNDATION

CHHF works collaboratively with the community in the Dept. of Colón, Honduras, to improve overall health via health education, community development, medical referrals, & primary care (medical, dental, vision & pharmaceutical) clinics. Provides free medical, dental, and ophthalmic services to the poor and needy in the Department of Colon, Honduras. The aim is to work with selected active people in the community, side by side, teaching and training them to advance their standards of health care. In 1997 a clinic in Limón was constructed which also provided living accommodations for volunteer medical and dental teams. In 1997 a satellite clinic was opened in Icoteas so that people would not have to travel the long distance to the Limón clinic. In 2014 CHHF began operating a third clinic in Chapagua serving 12 villages who would otherwise have no health care available. In addition CHHF offers educational scholarships to help a limited number of children complete their high school and vocational or university education
