Vigilant Society began as a Virtual
Enterprise in 2005. We are grateful for the experiences and learning
curve which produced our associations with tier 1 hospitals iand we especially acknowledge our appreciation to our Member Hospitals in
India who believed in us and gave us our initial associations to
serve our members. We also humbly acknowledge the wealth of assistance
provided by our chief medical/surgical coordinator ,who happens to be an
incorporator, stockholder ,senior consultant to Vigilant
Society and the Membership.
Vigilant Care Foundation. Vigilant Care Foundation salutes the many American physicians and surgeons who donate their precious time to helping children in all parts of the world. Frequently these care givers discover children who are sick, burned, injured, and living on the edge with severe birth defects. Many children cannot be helped due to the lack of skills available on scene. In those cases where a child is ambulatory and their physical condition permits travel to reach health care, these children may reach the referral desk of Vigilant Care Foundation. This is where Vigilant Care Foundation comes to assist in accessing world quality specialized surgical care and/or transportation. Without the doctors who donate their scarce time, without the precious few resources available and provided to the children:
- The children may go without treatment.
- Some children would have no chance for a full or normal life without
reaching medical teams of Surgeons and Medical Doctors who willingly donate their
skills.
Vigilant Care Foundation is fortunate to have physicians serving on its Board of Directors and as Consultants who have traveled the globe. Such professionals deeply understand the frustrations of the traveling physician who donate their time and skills to frequently rediscover a patient who cannot be helped due to unavailable skills on site. The second best choice is for the doctor to go to the patient, but this is often impractical. Vigilant Care Foundation believes in opting for a third choice in taking the patient to the care provider
at the lowest costs available.
We're dedicated to helping infants and adolescents access specialty medical-surgical services unavailable at the child's location. Sometime this is a simple airline reservation and ticket, while other times it is a bit more complicated with canoe ride, a jeep across a desert or helicopter airlift.

Haiti discovers it has real
neighbors in the world. While our Chairman has flown his private
aircraft into Haiti on hundreds of visits caring much needed medical and
relief food supplies to outlying areas as Jaqmel, Jeremy, Port au Pait,
Cap Haitian. Our Chairman admits his historical efforts are pale in comparison to today's
relief efforts, but he has many wonderful stories and memories of personal courage and failures of the Government
amidst today's sadness. We will be more than happy to share our private
Vigilant Society News Letter by request addressed to: info@vigilantsociety.com
When considering requests for assistance through the Foundation, considers criteria including:
availability and location of surgical medical skills to serve the infant, severity of the child's condition, impact of the requested service on the child's quality of life.
The Foundation functions through its donations and grants from Vigilant Society
and is therefore a Private Foundation of our Chairman, the Foundation strives to facilitate access for infants to health care services unavailable at their location.

Previous
Commentary -Vigilant Society Officers and
Directors have seen and witnessed the Christian goodness of the many
Missionaries who have worked in Haiti since the days of Papa Doc Duvalier
and his dreaded Tonton Macoute secret police. To
all our Haitian freinds, we are pround of you and the release of the
American missionaries whose misguided efforts were so misunderstood, that
they are home and have forgiven those who trespassed against them.
