Care That Lasts Longer
Than the Mission.
We believe skilled, compassionate care is the most powerful medicine, and partnership is essential to making it sustainable.
The Humanitarian Aid Relief Team (HART) is a community of volunteers and medical professionals united by one purpose: improving lives through healthcare. From our home in Lindon, Utah, and our office in Accra, Ghana, we work hand in hand with local leaders and partner organizations to bring surgical care, education, and lasting health infrastructure to communities that need it most.
- ✓Missions designed with local leaders, never imposed from outside
- ✓Volunteer surgeons, nurses, and professionals spanning surgical, dental, and medical specialties
- ✓Training and supplies that stay long after the team flies home
What We Do
Our Approach
Three programs, one goal: stronger, healthier communities through a sustainable coalition of surgical, medical, and educational programs.
Surgical Missions
Volunteer surgical teams collaborate with local healthcare professionals to expand access to safe surgery, from plastic surgery to orthopedic and obstetrical procedures, leaving every community with a stronger clinical team.

Our Mission to
Ghana 2025
Last year, the HART team once again traveled to the towns of Goaso and Kukoum in Ghana's Bono-Ahafo Region, collaborating with indigenous leaders and local healthcare providers to bring comprehensive surgical and primary care to communities with urgent, unmet medical needs. Working together made it possible to reach more people in a short period of time.
Our mobile clinics carried healthcare further into rural communities such as Agyrekrom and Beposo, while our volunteers worked in conjunction with Ghanaian providers and leaders at the regional nursing colleges, leaving a sustainable impact on the communities we serve.
Voices from the Field
Why We Serve
From the volunteers, partners, and communities who make every mission possible.
“My first mission changed how I practice medicine. Working alongside the local surgical team in Goaso, we weren't just performing procedures. We were trading skills in both directions. I came home a better nurse than I left.”
“What sets HART apart is that they ask first. They sat with our community leaders, listened to what our clinics actually needed, and built the mission around that. The equipment and training they left are still serving us today.”
“The mobile clinic reached villages that hadn't seen a doctor in years. Watching families walk away with real care, real medicine, and a follow-up plan. That's why I keep coming back mission after mission.”
“As a nursing student, the clinical training HART provided was invaluable. They didn't just demonstrate. They taught, answered questions, and donated the supplies for us to keep practicing after they left.”
“I've supported HART for years because every dollar visibly turns into care. Surgery for a child, supplies for a clinic, training for a nurse: you can see exactly where your giving goes.”
