Who We Are
The Issa Trust Foundation was established in 2005 by Couples Resorts as a nonprofit organization. The mission of the Foundation is to provide a system of prevention, health promotion and education, community health improvement and other services to promote well-being and development for the people of Jamaica. The Foundation strives to provide an environment conducive to the educational needs of children in collaboration with other community resources. Together, through educational and professional programs, we will work with, and advocate for families to provide a safe, nurturing and permanent home for children. Learn MoreMedical Initiatives
Since October of 2005, we have conducted annual pediatric medical initiatives to Negril and Ocho Rios Jamaica, and treated thousands of children. Access to health care is fundamental to our quality of life and, it is essential in the daily struggle for survival. Yet, three billion people live without basic health care services. Our goal is not only to give free medical care to children, but to also mentor with local health care providers, so that they can continue to practice in their home countries where their skills are most urgently needed. All of us have a role to play in improving global health by educating ourselves and others about the vast unmet needs, volunteering our time and expertise as health care providers and supporting those who work to make a difference in the lives of others.

Testimonials

I would like to acknowledge the great work that the Issa Foundation does to help improve the health and quality of life for young Jamaicans. During my time in Jamaica, we saw grass roots progress being made: sustainable equipment delivered to hospitals with in-service teaching provided, and vision screening at schools with glasses given out to children who needed them. For me, working within a fantastic organization was important in participating in an elective
to ensure that there was continuity with the work we do.

You are simply amazing – the people of Jamaica cannot thank you enough for your service. We at NERHA are very grateful..
Gloria Fenton RoseDirector of Human Resource and Industrial Relations

Thanks again for the equipment. They have been pressed into service; are being used heavily and have made a significant dent in our wait time. We have shortened the wait time and have used the portable unit to transport critical patients to Kingston and with reliable records of the vitals. Jim a special thanks to you and to ALL the staff of WelchAllyn. Diane there are not enough words to express the gratitude of my patients, my staff and myself. Again thank you.
