Shepherd's Hope
depends on volunteer physicians, nurses, other licensed health-care
professionals, and general volunteers
to provide quality health care to men, women and children who
would otherwise go without the care they need and deserve.

blessed with thousands of caring volunteers who have
provided
over 100,000 free
medical visits over
the past thirteen years. Currently, we have over 2000 volunteers.

valued at over $2.5 million.
