Caribbean Health Outreach

What Caribbean Health Outreach does

Caribbean Health Outreach (CHO) is a 501(c)(3) California Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation founded in 2002 by Hope Miller-Bodden and a group of Caribbean-American health professionals. The organization delivers free annual medical missions and health education to underserved communities in three western Jamaican parishes — Hanover, Trelawny, and St. James — while also serving the Caribbean diaspora in Los Angeles through community health fairs in Compton. CHO is entirely volunteer-led, with no paid staff; clinical services are provided by physicians, nurses, optometrists, dentists, and other professionals who donate their time annually. Service offerings include comprehensive screenings, consultations, dental and vision care, pediatric care, HIV testing, STI education, and condition-specific education.

The core program portfolio comprises Annual Jamaica Health Missions, Professional Symposiums for Jamaican healthcare workers, the Carey Park Basic School Project (including the Hope & Marian Miller Resource Centre opened in September 2022), and Compton Community Health Fairs. Funding flows entirely through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, fundraising brunches, and the flagship Annual Golf Tournament at Chester Washington Golf Course, which has run since 2007 and attracts 144+ players. CHO maintains operational partnerships with Jamaican community organizations including JCI Hopewell, Hanover Charities, Kiwanis Club of Hopewell, and Carey Park Citizens Association.

CHO reports serving 2,000+ patients annually across roughly 20+ missions since founding and most recently ran Healthy Days 2025 in June, expanding to four clinic days across Hanover Parish in collaboration with local Jamaican partners. The organization does not develop or commercialize technology products; all medical, educational, and infrastructure services are delivered directly by volunteers.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• International Medical Corps: IMC is a larger, established global health nonprofit delivering emergency medical relief and long-term health programs worldwide. Overlaps with CHO's medical mission model but operates at significantly larger scale with paid staff and institutional donor funding.
• Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders: MSF is the global benchmark for volunteer-physician-led medical humanitarian missions in crisis and underserved settings. Conceptual peer to CHO's model, though at vastly greater scale and with institutional funding and paid operations.

Others

• Direct Relief: Direct Relief is a major US-based nonprofit that delivers donated medicines and medical supplies to underserved communities and global health partners. Adjacent enabling organization that could supply CHO's mission trips with pharmaceuticals and equipment.
• Clinton Global Initiative / diaspora health initiatives (e.g., Caribbean-American medical diaspora associations): Diaspora-philanthropy platforms and Caribbean-American physician associations aggregate donor capital and volunteer medical capacity for projects in the Caribbean. They are not direct service peers but represent a relevant funding/recruitment channel for CHO's model.

Direct peers

• Partners In Health: Partners In Health operates long-term, volunteer-anchored medical missions in resource-poor settings (Haiti, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Malawi and others). Directly comparable to CHO's model of deploying volunteer clinicians to underserved Caribbean communities for sustained service delivery.
• Medical Teams International: Medical Teams International runs volunteer-led medical and dental clinics for refugees, disaster survivors, and underserved communities globally. Closely mirrors CHO's deployment of volunteer physicians, dentists, and nurses to deliver free episodic care in low-resource settings.
• Project HOPE: Project HOPE delivers volunteer-led health professional training and medical missions across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Comparable dual focus on direct medical care delivery plus health-professional education, similar to CHO's mission-plus-symposium model.
• Operation Smile: Operation Smile provides free surgeries in developing countries through volunteer medical teams. Closely comparable as a volunteer-clinician-driven nonprofit delivering episodic specialty care in underserved international settings.
• Health Volunteers Overseas: HVO mobilizes US health professionals to train and provide care in low-resource countries. Comparable to CHO's reliance on volunteer physicians and nurses donating time to strengthen clinical capacity in Jamaica and other underserved settings.
• Remote Area Medical: RAM operates pop-up free clinics staffed by volunteer medical professionals in underserved US and international communities. Directly analogous to CHO's free, volunteer-delivered screening and primary care model.
