DGH proudly supports the University of Minnesota’s Mobile Health Initiative. This program brings free, essential healthcare directly to migrant workers, unhoused neighbors, rural families, and various others, removing barriers like cost, transportation, and fear.

Healthcare is a human right.

✊🏽We say it plainly: F**K ICE. No one should be afraid to seek medical care because of surveillance, detention, or violence. Health, dignity, and safety must come before enforcement.

Support life-saving, community-centered care:

Help support medicine and health at the University of Minnesota.

Join us on January 24, from 3-5 pm at Boston Community Church to watch “The Next Dream”, a documentary about the history of the TPS Program and what is at stake with its defense and the need for a path to Citizenship.
Like in the past, and to-day more the ever, its need has come out of the policies of our Government, defending dictatorships and promoting economic policies that starve democracies. El Salvador and Venezuela are just a few examples.

Hear from those directly affected and discuss ways we can support them.

Register here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-iJWKNz7yB_kC-X5HX2U0_bl-yFnQ8-uaeoqVyREAMg/edit?usp=drivesdk or just show up. Please share with your networks!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who gave to Doctors for Global Health this Giving Tuesday and to our longtime supporters who continue to stand with us year after year.

Your generosity is more than a donation. It is a commitment to justice. It is an act of solidarity. It is a lifeline for communities who have long been overlooked.

Because of you, DGH can continue walking alongside our partners in Mexico, El Salvador, Uganda, and beyond, supporting community leaders, strengthening grassroots health programs, and ensuring that compassionate, high-quality care reaches those who need it most.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your unwavering dedication to building a world where health and human rights are upheld for all.

Giving Tuesday is today and we are calling on our community to rise together in solidarity, compassion, and action.

Across Mexico, El Salvador, Uganda, and the many communities we walk alongside, families continue to face barriers to essential health care, specialist support, and the protection of their fundamental human rights.

Your generosity today directly strengthens this work. Your support drives life-saving surgical efforts in remote regions, uplifts Indigenous leaders protecting their communities, and keeps grassroots programs alive for those who have long had difficulty accessing adequate care.

DGH communities depend on you. And today, your support matters more than ever.

On this global day of giving, we invite you to:
- Make a Giving Tuesday donation to help sustain our life-changing community programs
- Share DGH’s mission with your friends, colleagues, neighbors, and networks
- Invite others to stand in solidarity with the communities that inspire us every single day

Every voice, every share, and every contribution strengthens our collective movement for health, justice, and human dignity.

When you give today, you become part of a global circle of solidarity, one that refuses to leave anyone behind.

Thank you for standing with DGH. Thank you for believing in this mission. And thank you for helping us continue this work with strength, courage, and heartfelt gratitude.

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow! We are reminded of the power of collective action and the extraordinary impact we can make when we come together in solidarity.

Every day, our community partners from Mexico, El Salvador and Uganda work tirelessly to defend human rights, protect their communities, and ensure access to high-quality care in places where resources are scarce and injustice is widespread.

These communities depend on the generosity of people like you. Your support strengthens surgical brigades in Chiapas, fuels grassroots health programs, and sustains local leaders who are protecting their communities in the face of profound challenges.

This Giving Tuesday, your contribution (no matter the size) helps us:
- Continue standing shoulder-to-shoulder with communities historically overlooked
- Ensure access to essential medical care and specialist support
- Defend human rights and dignity in regions under threat
- Amplify the leadership and vision of community activists on the frontlines

Your generosity sustains our mission. Your solidarity makes our presence possible. And your commitment brings hope to families who would otherwise go without care.

Thank you for believing in this work and for standing with DGH communities around the world.

Access to dental care remains a critical yet often overlooked component of overall health in underserved communities in the U.S. and abroad where preventive services are limited or nonexistent. Poor oral health is closely linked to chronic pain, nutritional challenges, school and work absenteeism, and increased risk of infections. Therefore, strengthening access to dental services is fundamental to improving population health and reducing preventable disease burden.

This year’s dental health program in El Salvador stands as a powerful example of what is possible when communities receive the care they deserve. Over a two-week period, the campaign delivered comprehensive dental check-ups and cleanings to more than 600 children and 75 adults across participating communities. For many community members, this marked their first interaction with a dental professional, enabling early identification of cavities, guidance on proper hygiene, and immediate preventive care.

The success of this campaign highlights the urgent need to expand dental access in other DGH partner communities. It also demonstrates the powerful impact that even short-term, community centered interventions can have when guided by compassion, collaboration, and a commitment to health equity. Every smile saved and every child protected from preventable disease reflects a step toward a healthier, stronger future for the entire community.

This achievement is not only a testament to the dedication of the volunteers and partners who made it possible, it is a reminder of the transformative power of accessible healthcare. And it inspires us to continue reaching more communities, supporting more families, and ensuring that oral health is recognized as an essential part of overall well-being. Continued expansion of dental programs will be critical to ensuring long-term improvements in health outcomes and supporting the well-being of families in El Salvador and beyond. This is why your support matters. Every contribution helps us bring compassionate, accessible care to communities who need it most, creating lasting change and opening the door to healthier futures.
