Inspired to Transform

House Call for Humanity is driven to inspire leaders to take action.

Our efforts are deeply rooted in communities at home and worldwide. We love working with people who are passionate about healthcare and those who want to make a difference beyond the four corners of their offices.

For those who have served in our medical tours, professionals and volunteers – people who have taken time away from their loved ones and practices to be a part of our journey, an overwhelming sense of gratitude is owed to you.

Our teams of doctors and volunteers often work late nights or travel far distances during medical tours and despite the long hours, sleepless nights and bad coffee – the experience undoubtedly changes the the trajectory of their lives.

Quite often transformation is the reward we seek.

Are you ready to claim your share of miracles?

HCFH’s vision is shaped by a deep commitment to our six core values.

The Downtown Eastside

A Reality in Vancouver, British Columbia

The downtown Eastside of Vancouver is one reality that is right here in our own backyard. When viewed through an honest and unbiased lens, areas like Vancouver’s DTES, and the people who exist there, are truly a call to action and have the ability to elevate our very own purpose and potential.

In communities across Canada and South Asia HCFH is answering the call for healthcare – trekking into some of the most volatile environments imaginable. Healing people with our bare hands, providing a safe place and often a safe start, for those who need it most.

The Downtown Eastside is grounds for learning and healing. HCFH is inspired to share our experiences and lessons with community leaders across Canada.
