Ventura Global Health Project

Every organization has a social responsibility to give back. That’s why Jim Neitz — a Ventura, California, resident and a founding partner of Hayden — helped establish the Ventura Global Health Fund to provide underserved populations with medical care.

Through annual donations from organizations like us, VGHP has supported young medical professionals as they serve in clinics and field hospitals in countries like Cameroon, Chad, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Malawi, Mexico, Niger and more.

What it is

The Ventura Global Health Project is a non-profit organization that helps local medical professionals provide healthcare to the those in need around the world, regardless of political affiliation, religious belief, ethnic identity or ability to pay.

How it works

The Ventura Global Health Project:

  • Provides grants to doctors embarking on long-term volunteer service, helping them to get their feet on the ground
  • Recruits and pays for travel expenses for short-term medical volunteers to support local doctors who are in the field for long-term commitments
