Dear Healthcare Professional,

HOPE worldwide has been involved in medical missions around the world for 25 years, and God has blessed our efforts. Providing quality primary care healthcare is one of our signature attributes, and many doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, therapists and other healthcare professionals have served in multiple capacities in our service sites. In addition to our primary providers, we have a great need for specialty and subspecialty colleagues to see patients, to teach, to train local healthcare professionals and to build international connections in our sites.

With so many professionals in our churches and communities worldwide, we have a great opportunity to collaborate with other specialists and healthcare providers to share our skills and insight to bring much-needed healing and health to so many. In some sites, we operate successful specialty clinics. In the coming year, many of our sites would like to host specialty care clinics in fields such as dermatology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, mental health, women’s health and nutrition.

Our Community Service Brigades continue the dedicated work of traveling to areas of need with medical services, supplies and medicines. They form valuable community partnerships sustained by many local and international volunteers who bring their special expertise and a heart to serve.

For example, we are currently searching for primary care, dental and mental health professionals to join the Brigade in Guatemala in February 2020. Please note: All volunteers need to register by 12/27/19.

Below are specific medical professionals needed in Guatemala:

1 Adult Medical Provider:
- Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
1 Pediatric Provider:
- Physician, Physician Assistant or Nurse Practitioner
1 Dentist

Remembering Dave Tomlinson

September 1, 2026

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our dear friend and brother, Dave Tomlinson. Dave was a beloved part of the HOPE worldwide family who served in many capacities throughout his time with us, most recently as Chief Operating Officer before his retirement. He also played an important role in our Global Disaster Response and Community Service Brigades teams, serving alongside his wife, Angela. More than the roles he held, Dave was a cherished friend whose warmth, kindness, and genuine spirit touched so many people. His care for others was evident in the way he served, led, and built relationships with people around the world. Dave had a remarkable ability to encourage, uplift, and connect with people, reflecting God's love in both his leadership and his friendships. We will miss Dave deeply and are grateful for the many ways he gave of himself to HOPE worldwide and to the amazing people we get to serve. We’re holding Angela and their family close in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Dave’s presence will be deeply missed, but his faith, love, and example will remain in our hearts forever and his legacy will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him.
