About us
Houston Shoulder to Shoulder Foundation was founded in 2003. Since that time we have been providing primary health care services in the area of Santa Ana, Intibuca, Honduras. In 2014 we built a permanent clinic and employ a full time staff of Honduran medical professionals. Over the last decade we have added dental care, a pharmacy, and laboratory services to the clinic, and have begun to see optometry patients during our medical brigades. In 2024 we have begun a surgical initiative to start offering specialty and surgical procedures to the community that has previously only been able to access these services by a 4-6 hour car drive.

🦷 Your Smile, Your Confidence: The Power of Dental Care! 🦷 At the Houston Shoulder to Shoulder Foundation, we believe that a healthy smile is more than just about teeth—it's about confidence, self-esteem, and overall well-being. Good dental care isn't just a routine; it's an investment in yourself. Your teeth play a vital role, not just in your ability to take in nutritious foods and communicate clearly, but in how you see yourself and how others see you. A healthy smile can boost your self-confidence, enhance your social interactions, and positively impact your mental health. Help us prioritize dental health through our clinic, and allow patients to embrace the power of a confident smile. Regular check-ups, proper brushing, and a balanced diet are just the beginning. Together, we can create healthier smiles and stronger communities. #HealthySmiles #DentalCare #SelfConfidence #EmpoweringCommunities #HoustonShoulderToShoulder #CommunityHealth
