Care and Treatment

Compassion Medicine is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to ensuring that children from third-world countries needing life-saving or life-changing surgery for serious medical conditions receive the best care available. We partner with hospitals and healthcare professionals in the U.S. and other countries that provide some of the most advanced care in the world. The diseases and conditions treated are wide-ranging and diverse. Children receive not only the necessary medical, surgical, and rehabilitative care but also any necessary supportive care such as speech therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and transitional care. Our goal is that the child become as functional and healthy as possible in order to live a happy, productive life.
