NEW ANNOUNCEMENT:
DISCOUNT PROGRAM FOR RETURNING STUDENTS
For the 2025 VnHOPE Summer Medical Mission, the VnHOPE Board of Directors are pleased to announce the launch of a Discount Program for returning students. We want to recognize your hard work and dedication to the Summer Mission and the care you provide for the patients in Vietnam, which is an essential part of the Mission's success.
Student returnees will receive a 10% discount for their second Mission and the discount will increase by an additional 10% for each subsequent Mission with a cap at 50%. You do not have to participate in consecutive years to receive the discount.
For example:
- Student A joined the 2024 Summer Mission and returned in 2025. Student A will receive a 10% discount on the total land cost for 2025.
- Student B joined the 2023 Summer Mission and returned in 2025. Student B will also receive a 10% discount on the total land cost for 2025.
We hope the Discount Program will make it easier for students to participate in additional Summer Medical Missions.
Thank you,
Board of Directors

PHILANTHROPY
Education
We offer primary, pediatric, gynecologic, dental and optometric care to the rural underserved population of Vietnam. We prescribe medications, perform pap smears, dental procedures and hand out reading and prescription glasses to our patients.
We set up our clinics in Vietnam where patients can reach us for services. Our patients are underserved and access to health care for them is a challenge. We coordinate follow up care with the local healthcare centers and can refer specialty care to tertiary hospitals.
As part of our medical mission, we give out free medications, walkers, canes, wheelchairs and glasses. We also provide thousands of gift packages including cooking oils, condensed milk, toothpaste, toothbrushes and stuffed toys.
We partner with the local Vietnamese physicians and medical teams to exchange healthcare practices and expertise. Our students give presentations and shadow the healthcare providers to gain experience in our clinics.
