Message from the Board

Hospital Services Support Foundation is a result of initiatives taken by Sri Lankans in the bay area to consolidate their efforts to uplift the quality of healthcare received by the underprivileged in Sri Lanka. Our extensive approach is to create a sustaining platform within California to allow locals and business organizations to help underdeveloped hospitals in Sri Lanka improve the quality of patient care. We invite all locals and institutions to use our Foundation as a resource to organize your own project. You can utilize our tax-exemption capability to conduct fundraisers and choose within our extended network of needy hospitals and donation schemes to ensure that your donations reach the disadvantaged. Our transactions and projects are conducted in a very transparent manner from the beginning to the end to ensure that your contributions are directly received by individuals with the most need.

Our members are volunteers who have freely dedicated their own time and effort to this purpose. Thank you for your donations, enthusiasm, and interest in this worthy cause!

Yours Sincerely,
Board of Directors
