Carolina-Honduras Health Foundation

Dr. Gibson made his first trip to Honduras in 1987, working at a clinic operated by churches on the island of Utila. There was not a doctor on the island, and a local nurse staffed the clinic. Volunteer physicians visited for one or two weeks at a time.

After several trips to Utila, Dr. Gibson joined teams working deep in the mountains and along the coast. Teams of from 2 to 8 workers would set up clinics in schools or churches. They would often see patients who had never seen a doctor or dentist in their lives.

In 1995, Dr. Gibson made his first trip to Limon with a team of 10. They saw over 250 patients each day. They had a medical and dental area set up in a church, with an additional area for a pharmacy. Limon is on the Mosquito coast and is home to thousands of people who receive minimal or no medical care. Following this trip, the decision was made to erect a building in that location. The group involved also included John Parler (dentist) and Bob Owen (pharmacist), both from Batesburg.

On returning home in February 1995, the local newspaper ran an article about the desire to build a clinic in Limon. A group came forward offering to hold a fundraiser. David Cannon, a Barnwell businessman, became involved.

Carolina Honduras Health Foundation was founded as a tax-exempt State Chartered and Federal Non-Profit Organization.

The goals of the Foundation are to render education and health services to our fellow man without regard to race, creed or religious affiliation. The Foundation provides free medical and dental care and health education on disease prevention, sanitation and nutrition.
