Since it's inception, HOPE worldwide has addressed a number of the health crises and epidemics in the US and overseas. In the US we run HOPE for Kids, acknowledged to be among the country's most effective health education outreach programs. A charity hospital for the poor was established in 1996 to provide free care to the people of Cambodia, one of the most medically neglected countries in the world. Also in 1996 an annual medical conference was established - the HOPE worldwide Health Corps. In 1997, the Health Corps Conference in Kingston, Jamaica was co- sponsored by the University of North Carolina's medical school, bringing together 250 healthcare professionals from 17 countries who focused on the detection and treatment of diabetes, hypertension and asthma in developing nations.
