Virginia Hospital Center Medical Brigade Inc

The Brigade is a 501(c)(3) and USAID PVO Registered organization, founded in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch devastated much of Central America, particularly Honduras. Our initial effort was to provide disaster relief and subsequent efforts focused on providing curative services. Later, the Brigade added programs that provide sustainable community development interventions that improve health. 

Our mission is to improve the health of communities in Honduras. We fulfill this mission in three ways: 

1. PROTECT: Empower communities to establish and expand healthier living environments through improvements to the quality of air, water and nutrition.
2. PREVENT: Reduce the impact of preventable diseases on vulnerable populations.
3. TREAT: Increase the number of treatments, provide services currently unavailable, and expand community capacity for treatment in collaboration with local partners.
