Mission Statement

Hillside Health Care strives to supplement and expand access to interdisciplinary services for the people of Southern Belize by partnering with students, residents, & volunteers through global, interdisciplinary, advanced practice experiential education. HHC embodies Belizean empowerment, sustainability, education, cross-cultural immersion, and non-discrimination while endeavoring to ultimately become a wholly Belizean company that fosters healthy global attitudes, intercultural cooperation, equitable access to preventive & primary healthcare, community outreach, and financial autonomy.

Description

Since 2000, Hillside Health Care has operated a year-round clinic in the Toledo District of Southern Belize, offering free services and medications to patients. Originally called "Jericho Road Clinic," the name changed to Hillside Health Care International in 2005, then to Hillside Health Care in 2024. Founded to address the district's unmet medical needs, the clinic collaborates with community leaders, government ministries, local organizations, and NGOs. Volunteer healthcare professionals and students from various disciplines provide care to patients through clinic visits, home health visits, and mobile clinics in remote villages throughout the week.
