Despite this year’s challenging times, Sights on Health, Inc. has been able to offer support to those in need in Peru, New York, and Native American reservations in South Dakota & the Southwest. As a result of your generosity Sights on Health’s gift giving fundraising drive has purchased $5,000 worth of fingertip pulse oximeters; 200 devices have been delivered to the Navajo Nation’s reservation this month. Case management teams will distribute them to people with active COVID cases and healthcare workers for their use. Thank you!

On behalf of the thousands of people we have and will serve… won’t you consider donating to our mission work as you plan your end of year giving? Your continued support of our mission is deeply gratifying to us and we hope it is the same for you.

Wishing you a wonderful, safe, and healthy New Year in 2021.

FNE International Donation

Sights on Health — Fri, 31 Jul 2020 17:18:56 +0000

As the pandemic continues to have a devastating affect on many regions in Peru, Sights on Health has donated $1,000 to FNE International to purchase necessary personal protective equipment for Dr Francisco Morales and his staff at Asociacion Winaypaq, Cuzco https://www.asociacionwinaypaq.org/426994404. The donation was tripled by a match from Apple.

Dr. Morales left yesterday from Calca to travel to the jungles of Yanatile. We wish the team a safe trip as they provide medical care to the most needy in Peru’s rural health posts. Our thoughts are with our friends in Peru…

3-D Printed Face Shields by Chris Karavoulias & Adam Luter

Sights on Health — Mon, 27 Apr 2020 12:25:32 +0000

Many thanks to Chris Karavoulias & Adam Luter from Massachusetts. Using their own personal printers, they are printing 3-D face shields to provide frontline healthcare workers face protection. They joined a group dedicated to bringing together people with 3-D printers and hospitals in need - www.makersforcovid19.com

So far, Chris & Adam have made more than 250 face shields and 100 ear savers and donated them to several hospitals in Webster & Peabody, Massachusetts & the West Roxbury VA hospital. They recently sent Sights on Health 60 face shields & 15 ear savers for Elmhurst Hospital in Queens & will be sending these supplies to healthcare workers treating Native Americans at the Indian Health Hospitals in South Dakota. Thanks to their determination, they plan to keep making them until they cannot obtain materials anymore or their 3D printers fail to work any longer. THANK YOU, Chris and Adam, for your efforts to provide our frontline healthcare workers with protective face gear across the USA!
