What we aim to solve
Health is one of the most important values a human has and healthcare is a fundamental part of human rights. Health-related issues are among the most important problems societies are facing today in the USA and in the rest of the World. The healthcare sector now employs 11% of American workers and accounts for 24 % of government spending. Despite a large amount of the human and financial resources of our country is spared for healthcare, there is still substantial need, particularly among the underserved populations. In addition to governmental institutions and companies for-profit, nonprofit organizations such as Whitetulip Health Foundation (WHF) can play an important role to bridge healthcare gaps, particularly for such unfortunate communities.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Public Health Education
The purpose of the Whitetulip Health Foundation (WHF) Public Education Department is to promote physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing of communities across the country and abroad by providing education and guidance on common and vital public health issues. We recognize the importance of health education to empower the public, especially when it comes to awareness of healthy living and prevention of common health issues of adulthood such as heart attack, cancer, and stroke, childhood growth and developmental problems, women’s health issues, and mental health and substance misuse. WHF Public Education Department aims to encourage the involvement of health care professionals in public health education activities in the areas of their medical expertise and collaborate with community-based organizations to collectively tackle critical health care education issues to raise awareness and ultimately promote healthier lives.
Medical Mission: Haiti
Whitetulip holds pediatric mobile clinics at regular intervals in about 12 orphanages in the districts of Croix-des-Bouquets, Delmas, Tabarre and Kenscoff. Our goal is to address the social and biological determinants of health in underserved areas of Haiti. Our groups consist of 3-4 pediatricians and family medicine physicians, a nurse, a respiratory therapist and other volunteers from the United States. WhiteTulip provides acute medical attention, nutritional supplementation through the dispersal of multivitamins, decrease parasite burden through anti-parasite medication administration, and nutrition and hygiene education to parents and children. Over the last three visits, WhiteTulip has cultivated a relationship between local hospitals and local communities.
Medical Assistance
Whitetulip Health Foundation aims to bridge healthcare gaps by establishing activities towards underserved populations such as recent immigrants and non-English speaking communities. Most of those people have no medical insurance or any other form of health care coverage. Because of high cost, they may not even seek medical care despite their intense need or receive medical care using their limited financial sources to pay medical bills. Whitetulip volunteers strive to help these group of patients personally, examine them, and prescribe medication when necessary. However, some of these people may have diseases requiring comprehensive care in continuity and their medical need might be much beyond than a simple medical examination and prescription.
Among those, some might be eligible to Medicare / Medicaid, others might afford private health insurance; the remaining might be able to go charity care of local hospitals and free clinics. However, most of these patients have language limitation, who may not even know the healthcare system and the sources available. To offer a solution to this problem, Whitetulip has launched a program to guide and help recent immigrants.
Volunteers of Whitetulip have prepared documents in their own language of the immigrants to explain healthcare system in the USA, including the options available to obtain affordable health care, how to identify appropriate coverage depending on the circumstances and specific healthcare needs, and how to apply to the available coverage options.
However, there are State specific differences in healthcare systems and local hospitals. Policies and requirements for free clinics may also vary. Therefore, further documents for specific state/region were prepared.
In addition, Whitetulip Health Foundation have been organizing seminars and one-to-one application sessions to educate the community and to provide direct help. Furthermore, Whitetulip members visit local free clinics to collaborate with them, to find volunteers among Whitetulip members, and establish a communication between those clinics and the particular underserved population.
In this page, you will find general information about the Healthcare System in the USA as well as the options available for certain states. We are planning to translate these documents to any other language needed in future so that those populations can also take the advantage of these efforts. Please contact your local Whitetulip Branch or the Headquarter if you have any questions or concerns about our Affordable Healthcare Guide Program or you need further assistance for a particular medical need.
