Esperança

National Doctor’s Day & How to Celebrate

Now more than ever, our world is looking to the strength and guidance of its physicians. Frontline health workers have been stretched thin and risk their own lives daily to ensure our communities are being vaccinated safely.

Esperança has relied on the generosity of physicians for the past 51 years, those leading surgical missions abroad and serving on our Board of Directors. Now it’s our turn to say “thanks” for their dedicated service.

From the entire Esperança team…thank you for your commitment to transforming lives and improving health of the most vulnerable, and keeping us ALL safe. On March 30th, National Doctor’s Day, we would like to take this time to acknowledge the generosity of some Esperança volunteers who, together, have transformed the lives of thousands…
