Medical Care

Some of our patients are seeing a doctor for the first time in their lives

Weekly community clinics

We’ve come a long way from setting up tables and scales in a dusty dirt field. We’ve explained to mothers why Coca-Cola shouldn’t go in a baby’s bottle. We’ve taught the color wheel as a simple way to think about nutrition. We’ve seen blood sugar readings as high as ___, and watched those same patients understand the importance of regular monitoring and diet prevention.

Today, we have weekly clinics with a dedicated pharmacy, strong data management, and patients who return to us regularly for care. Malnutrition, diabetes, and hypertension are among the health challenges we see. In a region where inexpensive, carb-heavy foods are readily available and protein can be prohibitively expensive, education is a huge part of what we do.
