Help Us Grow
PHS would love to expand its educational programs for children, extend outreach to surrounding villages and banana farm workers, and acquire a mobile Vet Surgery Unit to better serve outlying communities. A portable X-ray unit and ultrasound machine would also transform our diagnostic capabilities. None of this is possible without your support.
The entire PHS budget is funded by fundraising events, donations, sales of products (such as t-shirts, coffee mugs and pet care supplies), membership fees and a BZ$15 per person clinic fee charged at monthly clinics to help offset the clinic costs for electricity, phone, and water.
Also, we’d love to have you join PHS as a member – and to see you at one of our events or clinics. (You can check our Calendar for more information on events and clinics.)
