MISSION STATEMENT
Healing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom of God.
TRANSFORMATION
AND RESULTS
Around the world, under-resourced health care systems and crippling poverty have led to an overwhelming number of individuals living with correctable disabilities such as clubfoot, burn contractures, hydrocephalus, and cleft lips/palates, among others. Children and families burdened with disability are often subjected to mocking and humiliation due to a lack of understanding.
They are excluded by peers, neighbors, and family members; they endure chronic physical pain; and they can be seen as a target for physical, sexual, verbal, and/or emotional abuse. CURE’s hospitals and specialty programs currently operate in 29 countries around the world, providing charitable medical care to patients regardless of gender, ethnic background, and/or religious affiliation.
We develop a culturally sensitive approach to spiritual ministry at each of our hospital locations, working with children, their families, and their communities to help them understand the medical reasons behind various conditions; we want our patients and their families to know that they are not cursed, as they've often been told, but rather valuable gifts from God.
We do what few others do: address the emotional and spiritual impacts of these conditions on the patients and their families and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the hope found in Him. From our founding in 1996 through June 30, 2017, CURE hospitals have performed more than 175,000 hospital-based procedures, more than 102,000 children have been treated at partner clubfoot clinics, and surgeons trained by CURE have performed more than 8,000 procedures to treat hydrocephalus and spina bifida.
Most importantly, we have seen God move in the lives of our patients, their families, and their communities and have had the opportunity to witness more than 172,000 expressions of faith in Jesus Christ.
