Healing the Children is a national, non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to providing medical care to needy children in our own community and around the world. Foreign children are treated by volunteer medical teams in their homeland and other children are flown to the United States for donated specialized care. Our medical teams have traveled to countries such as Uzbekistan, Guatemala, Paksistan, Vietnam and El Salvador. The children who are brought to the US come from all over the world as well, without their parents. They fly with a volunteer escort, usually from the airlines. While here, the children stay with local host families. Our chapter also has a partnership with local homeless shelters where we provide health and wellness education for families and some donated supplies.

The National office is located in Spokane, WA where Healing the Children was founded 25 years ago. The offices of the Oregon and Western Washington Chapter are located in Everett, Washington. There are 13 chapters nationwide.

The Oregon and Western Washington Chapter of Healing the Children operates on a very low annual budget. For every $1.00 donated to our organization, we are able to provide more than $300.00 worth of donated medical care. This includes surgery, hospitalization, and medical supplies. For children outside the U.S. we also provide donated airline tickets and host family care. Medical team members pay their own travel and lodging. Locally, we assist medically needy families who might need equipment or medication not covered by insurance.
