Since 1986, the St. Joseph's International Outreach Program has worked in collaboration with our partners in developing nations to build healthcare capacity through education, training, and capacity building efforts. With current projects in Uganda and Haiti, we are guided by the following principles: We believe universal access to effective healthcare is a basic human right and we will speak out against practices that run counter to this belief. We recognize that we work at the invitation of our in-country partners. We believe that our in-country partners must contribute to our projects in ways that are meaningful. We believe that raising false expectations is more detrimental than raising none. We accept that our work is highly dependent on factors beyond our control and as such, success metrics must be dynamic. We accept that anything is possible. Hope and action will guide our work.
