IN THE U.S.
25 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE WITHOUT PRIMARY HEALTHCARE
At the beginning of 2023, the uninsured rate in the United States hit a historic low of 7.7%, which equates to approximately 25 million people without health coverage. Although this figure reflects an increase in the number of people who have obtained health insurance since 2020, there are still significant barriers preventing vulnerable populations, such as low-income individuals and immigrants, from accessing affordable healthcare (CDC Blogs) (ASPE).
This number is equivalent to the combined population of several mid-sized states, for example, the states of Florida and Georgia together. Or the equivalent of more than 300 stadiums like MetLife, which has a capacity of around 80,000 people
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT HEALTHCARE IS A LUXURY AND NOT A RIGHT FOR SO MANY?
OUR PREVENTIVE HEALTH ACTIONS CHANGE EVERYTHING.
HEALTH
Chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and certain types of cancer can be prevented if detected early, saving millions of lives every year. The lack of access to preventive services leaves vulnerable communities with late diagnoses, worsening their conditions and complicating treatment. Prevention can be the difference between a healthy life and one filled with medical complications.
TIME
A preventive health consultation helps save time and money in costly long-term treatments. People who receive regular check-ups have fewer lost workdays and fewer emergency visits, improving their quality of life and productivity. Every day dedicated to prevention is an investment in a healthier future.
EDUCATION
Preventive healthcare not only cares for the body but also empowers communities through education. Teaching about the importance of medical check-ups, good nutrition, and physical activity can reduce chronic disease rates and encourage a healthier lifestyle. Preventive health education enables people to take control of their well-being.
WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT
Access to preventive healthcare especially benefits women, who are often the primary caregivers in their families. When women receive preventive care, they are better able to care for their families, remain active in the workforce, and contribute to the economic well-being of their communities.
- OUR RESPONSE TO THE HEALTH CRISIS
In the face of a system that leaves millions of people without access to healthcare, we have decided to act. Our mission is clear: to bring preventive healthcare to the most vulnerable and underserved communities. Through our medical brigades, virtual consultations, and educational programs, we are providing the tools necessary to prevent diseases and detect conditions that could be fatal in time. We not only offer immediate care, but we also empower people with the knowledge to take care of their health and their families. Every action, every consultation, is a step toward a fairer system where health is a right, not a privilege.

ACT TODAY AND JOIN US IN THIS FIGHT FOR A HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR ALL
Imagine living day by day with the fear of falling ill, knowing that any illness could mean financial ruin or, worse yet, a total lack of medical care. This is the reality for 25 million people in the United States who lack health insurance. Many of them are essential workers who do not have access to coverage due to informal jobs or a lack of affordable options. These people fill the streets of large cities but also live in rural areas where healthcare is nearly non-existent. Their daily lives are marked by difficult choices: Do they pay rent or visit a doctor? In a country with the most advanced resources and medical advancements in the world, it is incomprehensible that millions of people still face these barriers.
With your help, we can change this reality.
