Global Healthworks Foundation has been working in Guatemala for 10+ years. During that time, we've treated more than 65,000 patients from rural indigenous communities throughout the Department of Quiché. The following video provides a glimpse into the ways in which we're shifting healthcare with kindness and compassion with our patients, health promoters, and all those who cross our path. GHF Founder & Executive Director, Dan Wunderlich, describes our team of dedicated volunteers as “The Best Team Ever!” We hope you enjoy the video!
Global Healthworks Foundation medical volunteers joined local health promoters to safely deliver acupuncture and moxibustion treatments, natural herbal remedies, therapeutic massage, and other healthcare services to several hundred patients in the rural Guatemalan communities of Patzité, Chichicastenango, Chiché, and Santa Cruz del Quiché. Patients also received instructions for at-home body-movement exercises, informational talks about domestic violence prevention, and counseling support, as appropriate. Thanks to all who participated!
Shifting Healthcare With Kindness & Compassion
Our volunteer team of alternative healthcare practitioners is comprised of: highly trained acupuncturists; nurse practitioners, Reiki masters; holistic health consultants; therapeutic massage therapists; yoga, Qigong, and Tai Chi instructors; physical and occupational therapists; and specialists in women’s health. Volunteers are selected to participate in our medical missions based on their skills in holistic health as well as their level of compassion, team-player mentality, and genuine concern for the wellbeing of others.
We're shifting the paradigm for the delivery of healthcare services … with all those who cross our path!
Read how each volunteer practitioner is truly a catalyst for change on a global level.
