Our Mission
Homeopaths Without Border’s mission is to introduce or advance the understanding and use of homeopathy in areas where it does not yet exist or is minimally available, as well as to promote and provide homeopathic care and healing in emergency situations. HWB is a non-profit, 501-c corporation.
Homeopaths Without Borders is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization that believes everyone deserves access to high-quality healthcare. Our goal is to build and maintain partnerships across the Americas to help with medical emergencies and close the most significant health care gaps. We are accomplishing this by extending best practices in homeopathic care and education. Upon request, we provide information and resources so that communities may achieve their own sustainable solutions.

Certificates Awarded to HWB's Newest Class!
On March 28, twelve health professionals received their certificates at an award ceremony in Port Au Prince, Haiti. These students (8 physicians, 3 nurses and one social worker) completed the 90-hour course in the Fundamentals of Homeopathy. Students attended classes taught by Clinical Director, Lauren Fox, FNP-BC, CCH where they learned the art of homeopathic casetaking and the science of homeopathy. Additionally, during each session, these professionals participated in community clinics in hospitals in Port-au-Prince with HWB mentors. Students will continue to work in study groups to expand their knowledge and support each other in their homeopathic casework. We wish these new homeopaths, les félicitations!

HWB's Jean Hoagland Receives Prestigious Award
rApril 1, 2017
National Center for Homeopathy's Board President, Edward Conway, presented this year's Julian Winston NCH Service Award to Jean Hoagland, HWB Director Emerita. HWB's Executive Director, Holly Manoogian, accepted the award for Jean.
In his remarks, Mr. Conway said, "Jean Hoagland served on the NCH board for more years than any of us can remember - 12 of them as treasurer and 4 as President. She is a lifetime member and supporter of NCH, and a frequent contributor to Homeopathy Today. Jean was also instrumental in forming NCH affiliated Study Groups including her own which she led for more than 20 years. That study group is still active today in Mt. Dora Florida.
"One of Jean's great accomplishments while working with NCH, she helped organize and guide Homeopaths without Borders and encouraged a long-standing partnership and relationship between these two organizations.
"Jean demonstrated a life-long love of and use of homeopathy for herself and her family. She promoted the use of homeopathy by those with whom she came in contact. The huge amount of volunteer time given by Jean was served in a number of important organizations.
When I first joined the board, Jean was serving as Treasurer. I’ll never forget her keen eye and commitment to the details of NCH finances. We went through some tough years together in trying to balance budgets and keep NCH on track. She was a great mentor to younger board members and though she was an incredibly serious and devoted contributor, she also always found time for a good joke and playful smile. I’m honored and proud to give this award to Jean Hoagland."

Hurricane Matthew Strikes Haiti and HWB's Rapid Response Team Answers the Call
On October 6, 2016, Hurricane Matthew, the first Category 4 storm to make landfall in Haiti in 52 years, wrought destruction on this island nation. As HWB Executive Director, Holly Manoogian, CCH, kept close track of weather and conditions in Haiti, she was in regular contact with our colleagues in Haiti. They asked us to send teams as soon as the extent of damage was known. When it was safe to travel, our first team left for Haiti on October 14. Click here to read all about HWB's four weeks in Haiti providing health care to areas hardest hit by Matthew.
