Grace Children's Hospital (International Child Care)

What Grace Children's Hospital (International Child Care) does

Grace Children's Hospital (legally International Child Care (USA), Inc.) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1967 that operates a pediatric specialty hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, with a U.S. support office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The hospital delivers inpatient and outpatient pediatric care with a specialty focus on tuberculosis (including multidrug-resistant TB), HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, eye care, and maternal/prenatal health, and is recognized as one of the first organizations globally to provide total outpatient care for MDR-TB patients. The organization has been designated by the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) as a principal partner in the national TB program and operates a Simulation Laboratory (SimLab) for training healthcare promoters, plus community-based outreach to rural Haiti through the Grace Community Health program.

The organization reports cumulative impact since 2018 of 523,638+ outpatient visits, 479,993+ lab tests, 99,516+ vaccinations, and 952+ new TB patients treated, with 350+ patients served daily through transitional facilities built after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Core services include the Outpatient Clinic, Eye Clinic, Prenatal Women's Health Center, Inpatient Ward (nominal $8 USD fee), HIV/AIDS counseling and treatment program, and Grace Community Health (education, immunization, birth attendant training, micro-enterprise). A 2024 rebranding from International Child Care to Grace Children's Hospital reflects broadened positioning.

Revenue is generated almost exclusively through charitable contributions: individual donations, workplace giving, recurring and major donors (including the General Board of Global Ministries and Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church), stock transfers, the annual Race for Grace cycling fundraiser (~$50,000 recent proceeds), and supplementary nominal patient fees on a sliding scale. Go-to-market combines digital channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, email newsletters) with community-based event fundraising and earned media through church networks. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
