About us

Care begins with possibility.

We believe children and families should be able to reach the medical care they need, wherever they live.

Our mission

Closing the distance between need and care.

The Basic Needs Program is an international children’s medical foundation seeking to expand access to specialized medical care for children and young adults with heart disease. We work in alliance with doctors and hospitals on the ground to empower them to provide care.

Through regional programs, we focus on pathways to care and the relationships that make access possible.
