Michael And Mauritia Patcha Foundation

Purpose: An IRS 501c3 approved non-profit organization working towards reducing health inequities, with a focus on promoting Cancer Awareness Screening/prevention Early detection and Care (CASEC) and reducing HIV/AIDS burden in access-challenged populations. Our programs and activities are geared towards increasing access to cancer, HIV and other chronic diseases management resources, and shrinking the equity gap for low income and resource challenged populations. Activities include health fairs, workshops, a monthly newsletter, a yearly cancer conference (CASEC Information Exchange) and medical missions to Africa. CASEC medical missions are unique in that they incorporate free cancer screening and treatment as part of comprehensive medical and surgical services delivery. Mission: To eradicate diseases through effective and innovative health delivery systems. Vision: To become the pre-eminent health, educational, economic empowerment & life improving delivery system in impoverished regions of the world.
