Una de las instituciones que tiene el propósito de ayudar en República Dominicana, están realizando un excelente trabajo.
HHI has done marvelous work in the Dominican Republic, and has been recognized as a center of excellence in chronic care management. I’ve been fortunate to volunteer with them many times, and the fantastic work that they do keeps bringing me back!
I have seen Health Horizon's International in action multiple times. I am impressed by their efficiency and the care they give to their patients. The staff and volunteers are clearly dedicated.
HHI is the only organization in the Dominican Republic (and the 4th in the American continent) recognized by the International Diabetes Federation as a Center of Excellence for Diabetes Care.
Horizontes es una organizacion sin fines lucrativos que busca mejorar la calidad y el acceso a los servicios de atencion primaria
I have volunteered with this organization twice and amount they have accomplished over the years is remarkable. It is a great organization filled with incredible people. They truly make a difference in the lives of the people they serve.
I have been following this NGO for years. They are fantastic . Their vision was to treat diabetes and HTN in a fashion where patients knew them, remembered them, and continued to see them over time. They have accomplished this ! I have volunteered with HHI as a physician and will continue to do so.
Health Horizons International is a unique organization providing continuity of care for conditions that shorten the lifespan of many people in the Dominican Republic. These include diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension. They are not only given medication but also education. They are unique among nonprofit medical organizations.
Es una de las instituciones mas solidas a nivel comunitaria donde tiene grandes programas que cambian al mundo
Tuve la oportunidad de ir a Horizontes de Salud y su centro ubicado en la cmunidad de cevere para obtener mi servicio de paspanicolao luego de sentir mucho dolor. Yo iba a Santiago a atenderme pero el trato y el servicio de Horizontes de Salud es otra cosa. Hay muchas instituciones que no trabajan de manera honesta, pero Horizonte es de las pocas organizaciones que de verdad le importa la salud de la gente
ORGANIZACION QUE TRABAJA ARDUAMENTE PARA ASEGURAR QUE PERSONAS EN LAS COMUNIDADES TENGAN SERVICIOS DE SALUD COMPLETAMENTE GRATUITOS

HHI is a wonderful organization. When I came to HHI , I found out that it’s like family. I have good experiences with the workers.
I volunteered for a medical mission trip with HHI and had a wonderful. experience. It was very organized and everything was clearly explained. They went out of their way to make it a good experience for us. I really enjoyed the time I spent there and look forward to doing a trip with them again in the future.

I'm Willy Destin, Referral Specialist at Health Horizons International and I've been with this organization for 10 years, as a translator and volunteering as a community health worker and now as an employee.
Health Horizons International means a lot to me and my community because of the commitment to the people they serve, and that was one of the reason why I decided to help people in my community through the great job Health Horizons International does in the Dominican Republic.
If I could say a word to let you know what HHI means to me and my community, that word would be "family"
Go HHI! We are the A-Team.
He participado durante 10 años en la organicismo 6 de ello como voluntaria y 4 como empleada.
la experiencias ha sido y seguirá siendo maravillosa ya que hacemos lo que nos gusta, que es el trabajo comunitario y ayudar a las personas que realmente lo necesitan de una manera transparente, segura y confiable.
Ademas me ha dado la oportunidad de crecimiento, en el área comunitario, personal y profesional y laboral. Y esas son de las muchas cosas que hace, ayudar a mejorar, ya sea mediante una vida de salud con calidad a sus usuarios o en lo profesional con sus voluntarios y empleados.
One of the most humbling and enriching experiences in my professional journey has been joining the HHI Family. For a decade, Horizontes de Salud has positioned itself as one of the strongest public health organizations in the country. Through our programs focused on chronic community health care, we have served as a bridge between the health system gap and the population in a situation of socioeconomic vulnerability or other determining factors such as education, employment, sustainable housing, and access to water; which also prevent access to health as a basic human right. Our work was born as a sustainable, permanent and long-term solution to the medical operations that our founders performed in the city of Villa Montellano, Puerto Plata; where we focused on the four communities of Pancho Mateo, Severet, Arroyo de Leche and Negro Melo to offer completely free primary care services to local residents three times a year. During the past ten years, keeping the promise we once made to our communities, we have made more than 30 medical operations who have impacted the lives of more than 3000 beneficiaries.
I participated in a trip almost ten years ago, but the work of the community health workers, doctors and PAs stays with me to this day. HHI has deep roots in its communities, and cares deeply for the people it serves.
I have personally donated to Health Horizons for each of the past 10 years and will continue to do so in the future.
HHI was founded by a number of doctors in the Northeast who originally went to the Dominican Republic on one mission trip to bring medical help to indigent people. They were so profoundly moved by the experience that they founded HHI which now has had a permanent presence in the DR for more than ten years. The number of stories from persons with unknown blood pressure and diabetes are legendary and countless. My donations make me feel as happy as the many citizens of the DR whose lives have been inalterably changed by the great work of Health Horizons International.
As a co-founder of HHI, it has been amazing to be a part of the growth of this organization. Our mission driven staff has brought HHI to new heights in accomplishing work that is steeped in community and empowerment. I am proud to be a part of this team.
I am one of the co-founders of Health Horizons and am incredibly pleased that we are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. HHI has grown from essentially a "mom and pop" operation to a well respected NGO partnered with the Dominican Ministry of Public Health and the World Diabetes Foundation. Personally, I am gratified to see the changes in our patients who have gone from the paternalistic system to which they were accustomed in which they were used to just doing what they told and asking no questions. They are now full participants in their care and have benefited greatly from it.
I have participated in many Medical Service Trips with HHI since its inception. It is very rewarding to see the impact that a small organization with dedicated volunteers can have on the health of underserved communities. The friendships I have developed are wonderful. As a physician, the opportunity to work in a setting where resources are limited but caring and ingenuity are boundless is invigorating. Working with students and residents allows us to share our excitement and introduce them to the reward of this work.
