New York, New York, United States Village Health Works Full time

ORGANIZATION BACKGROUND

Village Health Works (VHW) is a 501(c)(3) corporation. It is a
social justice organization founded on the belief that health
equity is not a commodity but a right. Founded in partnership with
the communities we currently serve, VHW's mission is to provide the
neediest high quality, compassionate health care and education
based on critical thinking in a dignified environment. VHW's
holistic approach integrates clinical services with education, food
security, economic development, environmental protection, music and
the arts. In the context of where we currently work, this is the
only way we can sustainably end the extreme, multigenerational
scarcity in a way that uplifts and engages communities with dignity
and in their own context. We believe that the lack of access to
quality healthcare and education is the biggest threat to
development and world peace.

Currently VHW operates in a wide array of clinical and community
programs in a catchment area of over 200,000 people within the
provinces of Rumonge and Bururi, though its doors are open to every
patient regardless of where that patient is coming from. Our first
clinic attends over 51,000 outpatient consultations per year.
Since 2007 until summer 2023, our 60-bed inpatient wards have been
providing basic adult and pediatric non-operative inpatient
services including treatment of malnutrition, mental health,
chronic and acute diseases and uncomplicated obstetrical
deliveries. These services have been administered by our staff of
generalist physicians under the supervision of our current Medical
Director.

Village Health Works has embarked on a plan to expand our
clinical services to provide comprehensive quality medical care and
training. To achieve this goal, VHW has constructed and officially
opened an 85,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art teaching hospital with
several services that include surgery, obstetric deliveries,
intensive care, pediatrics and neonatology, emergency, pathology
lab, medical education and research center. To provide
excellent patient care and training we must expand the scope and
skills of the healthcare providers through training, teaching and
research, hiring through rigorous development and implementation of
systems and structures, policies and procedures that are framed by
high quality norms and international standards.

Additionally, VHW has established the Kigutu International
Academy, a grade 9-12 boarding school to equip young minds with an
education based on critical thinking to prepare them to become the
leaders we wish their country and the continent to have for a
better future.

Our core values are as follows:

Every member of VHW's team must value the dignity inherent in
each individual, aspire to excellence in all we do, proceed with
boldness and perseverance.
Compassion and justice must be at the heart of our
organization.
To accomplish the mission of our organization we
all must be accountable to each other and to our
community.
