About Us

Domestic Operations

Founded in 1989, Kissito Healthcare exists solely for the betterment and care of human life. We seek to improve patient outcomes in our Domestic and Global services through a balanced engagement in academics, research and health care delivery. As a charitable organization, Kissito Healthcare is funded by private and government grants and donations. In nine U.S. facilities, we provide post acute care, chronic disease self –management, long term care, assisted living, Alzheimer/dementia care, specialized respiratory care and employment to 800.

Our internal culture is intensely guided by our four core values of Integrity, Passion, Excellence, and Respect.

Global Initiatives

In partnership with the Ministries of Health in Ethiopia and Uganda, Kissito Healthcare International strengthens and develops regional health delivery systems focusing on the integration of safe drinking water, sanitation, health education, and health services delivery. Kissito initiatives focus on sustainability and outcome replication. Kissito’s hospital operations in the Manafwa District of Uganda serve over 3,500 patients each month. In the Kamashi Zone, BGRS, Ethiopia, Kissito is building a referral hospital and health delivery system which will serve the needs of over 1 million people. Kissito’s Ethiopian and Ugandan initiatives are particularly focused on Maternal and Child Health and Proper Nutrition through the establishment of effective basic Emergency Obstetrical and Newborn Care and malnutrition stabilization centers. Kissito funding includes private donations exceeding $2 million and collaborations with public resources such as the Global Fund. Kissito works with a wide range of governmental, academic, and non-governmental organizations in executing our global mission.

Unlike a for-profit company, Kissito is committed to reinvesting in our people, our communities and efforts around the world to make healthcare available for those in need. We are firm believers that great organizations exist because of the quality of their people, so we participate in many different collaborations and programs to enhance our people’s skills, competency, education, support, benefits, career development and quality of life. We do this because it is the right thing to do and we believe in our people.

All of our programs and services serve a common goal: a better quality of life for the patient. Ultimately, isn’t that the goal we all have for ourselves?
