Medical Missions

Medical Missions

Provide free healthcare services to heal those in need around the world.

Our volunteer initiative was founded to fulfill the calling of  Dr. Eileen Han, who was influenced by her late mentor, master, and creator of the Balance Method of acupuncture, Dr. Richard Tan. Eileen donates her time and energies to this initiative and invites you to join us in this proactive effort to bring health to as many people as possible. 

Formerly under the name of Worldwide Healthcare Initiative (WHI), our volunteers have had the privilege of providing care through humanitarian medical missions in Costa Rica, Nepal, Madagascar, and Peru.

We depend on donations to cover costs associated to the healthcare services we provide during our volunteer brigades. This includes supplies such as needles,  alcohol, gloves, among others. Your donations will also contribute to the planning and organization of future events and clinical services to be offered.
