OUR VISION, MISSION & VALUES
Mission
The purpose of the HHP Foundation is to relieve suffering by treating chronic pain
through global education, training and service.
The Hackett Hemwall Patterson Foundation (HHPF) is a not-for-profit medical foundation that sponsors international service-learning trips. We are dedicated to the treatment of chronic pain using prolotherapy, a regenerative medicine technique. We also sponsor service-learning trips to treat venous disease, leg ulcers and ear, nose and throat diseases.
We strive to be the most respected prolotherapy teaching organization. HHPF partners with the University of Wisconsin to bring together the most espected prolotherapy instructors from around the world to lead our conferences and our servce-learning trips.
On our service-learning trips to Mexico and Honduras we partner with local groups like the Honduran Red Cross and others to provide prolotherapy training and treatment for underserved patients with chronic pain. We also offer chronic venous disease treatment, leg ulcer management, ear nose and throat surgery, and dental care. In addition, we dontate supplies to hospitals, elder homes, and elementary schools.
