Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in healthcare. By establishing long-term relationships with sister organizations based in settings of poverty, Partners in Health strives to achieve two overarching goals: to bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need of them and to serve as an antidote to despair. We are devoted to recruiting, training, and equipping dedicated teams of volunteer community organizers whom can mobilize their communities in the fight for health equity.

Our Core Beliefs
All human lives have the same value, and every human being has the inalienable right to be healthy to fulfill their potential.
The right to health is not the only right held by our patients. Other fundamental human rights are interrelated and just as inalienable.
All people need to stand in solidarity with those who find themselves at the margins of modern society.
The playing field needs to be leveled for those individuals who are born at a disadvantage (equity vs equality).
Injustice is not accidental but a direct result of structural violence and oppression. We can fight injustice by changing those dynamics.
It is our moral call to action to expose social injustice and to work toward correcting those systemic forces that create inequalities, no matter how impossible or challenging this task might look.
Our Motivation
At PIH, we believe healthcare is a human right. We strive to ease suffering by providing a comprehensive model of care that includes access to food, transportation, housing, and other key compontents of healing. We help bring the benefits of modern medicine to those who have suffered from the overt and subtle injustices of the world, in the past and in the present. We refuse to accept that any life is worth less another.
