We had an incredible week launching our newest Health eVillages pilot at the Teche Action Clinics in Franklin, Louisiana!  It was great to see our global program start helping healthcare providers and patients in the United States.  The challenges rural Southern Louisiana health centers face was made worse by the 2010 oil spill.  A recent [...]

The Health eVillages team spent last week at Regis College visiting our Haitian nursing users and launching the Health eVillages Regis College Outreach (HERO) program.  It was a pleasure to spend time with these women.  We hadn’t met with them in-person since last summer when we updated their devices with a number of 3rd party [...]

As the Health eVillages Africa mission trip comes to a close, letters continue to pour in with good news about the affect of the donated Health eVillages Smartphones and mobile medical devices on the healthcare in the community.

Angels of Hope and now Health eVillages are part of the rebuilding of this beautiful community, so recently afflicted with such violence. The health clinic stands as a beacon of hope in the area, with many mothers walking miles with their children for the very inexpensive, clean health care.
