Since an exploratory trip in 1999 following the devastation of Hurricane Mitch, OCHO has committed to providing health services to the rural and remote village of Atima, in the Department of Santa Barbara. Each year, a brigade team of volunteers provides free medical services to the community. As our relationships with the community developed, we expanded our focus from providing basic primary care to developing an expanding portfolio of sustainable programs of education, public health infrastructure, and clinical training.
