Hillside Health Care International

What Hillside Health Care International does

Hillside Health Care International is a Belize-registered nonprofit organization founded in 2000 (originally as Jericho Road Clinic) that provides free healthcare services to underserved rural populations in the Toledo District of Southern Belize. The organization operates a freestanding primary care clinic in Eldridgeville, mobile medical clinics that travel to remote villages, a home health care program (the only one in the district), and the first palliative care and hospice program in the region. It also delivers community-based rehabilitation services and public health education programs. All clinical services are provided at no cost to patients.

The organization's business model is funded through two primary revenue streams: student rotation fees paid by post-graduate medical, pharmacy, nursing, rehabilitation, and public health students from accredited programs in the US, UK, and Australia, and donations from individuals and organizations worldwide. In 2023, 122 students from over 50 programs participated in clinical rotations, and in 2024 over 50 clinical volunteers provided on-the-ground support. Ancillary revenue comes from a $200 volunteer administration fee and on-campus housing charges ($15/night or $125/week) at Abby's House. The Jericho Road Society legacy giving program provides planned giving infrastructure.

Hillside employs 19 Belizean staff (with 50% tenure exceeding 10 years) complemented by 4 full-time long-term volunteers, and is governed by a Board of Directors led by Board President Todd Wilson. The organization delivers approximately 10,000 clinical and outreach services annually. It has no proprietary technology platform and does not engage in AI/ML development. Its competitive position is anchored on 24+ years of community trust, exclusive first-mover status in home health and palliative care within the Toledo District, and a multi-disciplinary clinical training model that integrates medicine, pharmacy, nursing, rehabilitation, and public health.
