What People are Saying about HVORita FeinbergLena Dohlman Toni Sander Richard Fisher John A. Lancaster The Silver FundAs part of HVO’s 25th anniversary observances, the HVO Board of Directors has established the HVO Silver Fund. The purpose of this fund is, quite simply, to strengthen HVO’s ability to meet new challenges and to respond to new opportunities in the coming years. There are increasing requests for our programs around the world, as well as interesting opportunities to partner with other organizations and universities. In today’s rapidly evolving world of technology, there are new ways of communicating and sharing information and knowledge that are coming online constantly. Your support can lead HVO into its third decade of programs, providing us the flexibility to incorporate new ways to educate, expand our number of sites, develop new partnerships, and consider unique requests for assistance.HVO 25th Anniversary SponsorsSilver ($2,500)American Dental Association Henry Schein, Inc.

On August 1, 2011, Health Volunteers Overseas began celebrating 25 years of quietly transforming lives, empowering health care providers and contributing, one volunteer at a time, to a healthier world. Since 1986, Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) has worked to increase health care access in developing countries through clinical training and education programs in child health, primary care, trauma and rehabilitation, essential surgical care, oral health, blood disorders and cancer, infectious disease, nursing education and wound management. In more than 25 resource-poor nations, HVO trains, mentors and provides critical professional support to health care providers who care for the neediest populations in the most difficult of circumstances. Here are just a few resources detailing the work of HVO’s volunteers, sponsors, donors and staff.
