A special thank you to the physicians and healthcare providers working on the frontlines. Listed below are just a few of our past participants and where they’re contributing to help save lives. These professionals are an important part of our Sights on Health family and have participated in our medical and cataract surgical missions to Peru and Ecuador since 2012; many of them more than once. We are so proud of all of you as you work tirelessly giving the best patient care possible during this pandemic. We invite any of our other past participants to share with us where they are and what they’re doing to serve the needs of patients across the USA during this pandemic. We salute you!

We Stand By You – A Note About The Covid – 19 Pandemic

Sights on Health — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 19:33:14 +0000

All of us at Sights on Health feel ourselves in solidarity with healthcare providers who are working and struggling their way through the Covid-19 pandemic. As a medical and surgical charity providing care abroad with limited resources, we have an idea what it’s like to provide optimal care in tough circumstances. Now at this time, here in our own community, our physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, many who have participated in our medical missions are on the front lines. We hold these extraordinary people, their patients and Sights on Health’s friends in our prayers during these extremely tough times.

Name change for our nonprofit! Sights on Health, Inc.

Sights on Health — Mon, 15 Jul 2019 23:45:07 +0000

The board of directors and officers are thrilled to announce the new name, Sights on Health, Inc. for our nonprofit organization. Our name states what we provide: global healthcare and vision restoration. Other than the new name everything else will remain the same. Our volunteers will continue to provide quality medical care, eye care and eye surgery through the global missions. Our outreach will continue to serve where we are needed in South America and now North America as well. Our A Promise to Peru name will always have a special place in our hearts and remain a part of who we are. During this year, as we transition, we will use the A Promise to Peru name as a “Doing Business As” for certain aspects of our work and then fully transition to Sights on Health, Inc by the end of the year. Our passion is unwavering!
