Hillside Health Care International

Hillside Health Care International (HHCI) is devoted to improving the Belizean quality of life through medical care, health education, and community outreach. HHCI promotes healthy global attitudes by offering a culturally-rich educational program for medical volunteers that challenges them to better understand their role in international health care. Located in the Toledo District in Southern Belize, our Hillside Clinic is a non-profit primary care clinic established in 2000. Its mission is to provide health care and disease prevention to the people of Toledo in Southern Belize. Hillside sees over 9,500 patient visits yearly. Care is delivered at the clinic site, through home visits, and by mobile teams that service remote villages. Medical care is provided by physicians, physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, visiting medical students and staff from Belize and abroad. Hillside seeks to offer personal and professional development as well as opportunities for educational advancement and leadership training for members of the HHCI Belizean staff. Through close collaboration with the Belize MoH and other local governmental and non-governmental organizations HHCI will expand its outreach to facilitate public health research, accessible care and disease prevention.
