GHANA 2023
We believe that access to quality healthcare should not be a luxury, but a basic human right. Our team of dedicated medical professionals and student volunteers are bringing healthcare to Ghana, with a mission to provide the necessary healthcare services to those who need it the most.
Our team comprises a range of specialists, including a neurology PhD, a physiatrist specializing in rehabilitation medicine, a podiatrist skilled in foot surgery, as well as three physical therapists specializing in adult, geriatric, and pediatric care. Additionally, we have four physical therapy students and two non-medical volunteers who will also be joining the team.
We are proud to be bringing our expertise and passion for healthcare to Ghana, and we look forward to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Join us in our mission to provide quality healthcare to those who need it most.
Wheelchair Clinic with Justin Morris, PT

Our team member, Justin Morris, led the charge in fixing and repairing equipment for these amazing kids, with their eager eyes watching his every move. We were touched by the love and appreciation shown by the children and their families, and we are committed to continuing to provide the best possible care for them.
