The VHP (Volunteer Health Program) is a nonprofit health care program which focuses on primary medical, surgical eye care and dermatological care to under-served rural areas in the Dominican Republic. It is an integrated program offering high-quality and accessible eye care to our Latin American neighbors. An essential part of our support is to work in a close partnership with those who live or work in the region we are serving.
VHP is committed to offering educational support to health care providers in areas that we serve. Our mission group provides comprehensive on site diagnosis, surgical and medical treatment of eye diseases. The distribution of corrective glasses for those in need is also an essential part of the program.
Physicians, nurses and trained eye screening volunteers are our most valued resources. The superior knowledge and skill of this broad-based team and their compassionate concern for each patient’s welfare is the basis of the Volunteer Health Program.
