Because 50% of the world’s population lives near a coast, our floating hospitals are the best way to reach and treat people in need.
Because there are only two physicians per 10,000 people in sub-Saharan Africa, many people suffer and die from treatable conditions.
It takes a wide range of people & skills to run a hospital ship, and our all-volunteer crew makes it happen. You can help make a difference.
Our mission is driven by dedicated volunteers who serve on board our hospital ships in remote countries! These volunteers are backed by a team of full time staff in our International Support Center, located in Texas, who help provide resources and support to fulfill our mission of hope and healing. You can be a part of the team today!
