“To undertake international public health initiatives including pediatric surgery, providing prosthetic limbs for amputees and individuals born without limbs, and working to reduce chronic pulmonary disease in collaboration with publicly supported charities that address the needs of impoverished children and families in Guatemala. The foundation does business as Healthworks Collaborative and often uses the acronym HWC along with its logo and contact information and communications and promotional materials”

“The Foundation collaborates with agencies engaged in international public health efforts to improve health outcomes. Specifically, the Foundation identifies prospective collaborative partners formal organizations, such as NGOs and non-profits or individuals with which to work in order to achieve specific health related goals. These goals are achieved through surgical and medical missions, health-related projects such as the installation of woodburning cooking stoves in homes where families cook on a dirt floor using stones in a ring to contain a fire education, food deliveries to the elderly and more. The Foundation focuses its work in the remote area of the Alta Verapaz province in central Guatemala. In 2024, the work of the Foundation and its Executive Director, has been to continue to co-manage the construction of a surgical clinic in the town of Santa Cruz in the Alta Verapaz province of Guatemala and to procure medical and surgical equipment necessary to outfit the surgical clinic upon its completion. By the end of 2024, Healthworks Collaborative collected enough medical and surgical equipment to fill two 40-foot shipping containers. The first container was shipped in April 2025. The surgical clinic in Santa Cruz, Alta Verapaz is nearing completion and we expect to be starting surgical mission trips toward the end of 2025 and certainly in 2026. The Foundation is planning to ship a second container filled with medical supplies and equipment and office furniture in June 2025.”

“In addition to the public health related projects it supports in Guatemala, the Foundation has begun to develop additional partnerships with more non-profit organizations which focus their work on healthcare projects in Guatemala. In 2024, we were very pleased to further develop our relationship with Advance Community, in Phoenix, Arizona, which developed a memorandum of understanding with the organization we primarily support in Guatemala, namely, Living to Serve. In 2024 we further developed our relationship with Provision International and Vine International. These two organizations are focused on providing food and healthcare in Guatemala and Central America. Healthworks Collaborative, in 2024, was also very pleased to support a surgical mission team on a trip to the Centro Moore, a surgery clinic in Guatemala City. During this surgery mission, 86 children received operations, and their lives changed forever. Healthworks Collaborative also supported the purchase of wood-burning stoves for a stove building project in homes where families were cooking on their dirt floor. These families, typically Mayan, do their cooking on the dirt floor of their home and jeopardize the health of the family due to the extreme amounts of smoke in the home. With the new stoves installed, the smoke is ventilated to the outside of the home and improves the living conditions for the entire family.”
