Recent Events

In addition to our core mission of donating essential medical equipment and supplies to hospitals and healthcare providers in Ghana and other regions of the world, Adopt A Hospital provides direct financial support for organized events that have an immediate impact on the quality of healthcare.  

Free Eye Care Clinic

Adopt A Hospital in coordination with the Eastern Regional Hospital and Dr. Ransford Aduah recently held a free eye care clinic for children and adults in the Eastern Region of Ghana. Over a twoday period, local medical volunteers provided eye exams and eye care treatment to over 200 children and adults, all of whom were provided new eye glasses. Adopt A Hospital raised $2,500 in donations to cover 100% of the cost of this life changing event, and now more than 200 people can see more clearly with corrective eyewear. Adopt A Hospital would like to thank all of the local volunteers, the Youth Volunteers Organization, and SightShare for their heartfelt donation.

Food Drive

Adopt A Hospital sponsored a food drive to raise a 4-month supply of baby food ingredients for the the Children’s Ward at Eastern Regional Hospital.  The pediatric nurses were also supplied blenders and essential items needed to properly prepare and administer the food to the children.  Adopt A Hospital would like to thank all donors and the Lucy Beckham AAH chapter for their $500 donation. Our goal is to provide an on-going replenishment of this food supply with our next food drive beginning in July.  

Lastly, as founder of Adopt A Hopsital, I want to again thank everyone for supporting our mission. I have planned a 6-week trip back to Ghana this summer, and we are planning a free clinic for citizens in the Western Region of Ghana. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
