Board of Directors & Volunteer Medical Practitioners/Professionals
In 2023, Hope Within was able to provide 2308 medical, counseling and dental visits to our uninsured, underserved neighbors. Each one of these numbers represents a life that was impacted for the better due to the fact each person mentioned here is aligned with the mission of Hope Within and views their service as a tangible demonstration of the love of Jesus Christ. We acknowledge that the gift of time is priceless and more precious than gold, as once it is spent, it can never be regained.
