The birth of a support network
Gateway to Hope began as a small team of volunteers working to provide donated healthcare and services to women in need. Those volunteer nurses became staff, and our model has evolved to meet the needs of women today.
YOUR DOLLARS HAVE AN IMPACT EVERY DAY.
We exceed industry standard for financial responsibility.
OUR COMmITTMENT to equity
At Gateway to Hope, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every person, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or geographic location, has equitable access to life-saving breast healthcare.
We recognize that systemic disparities exist within healthcare, creating barriers for many communities. Our mission is to champion change by removing these barriers and providing comprehensive support—financial assistance, navigation services, and access to resources.
Through continuous reflection, education, and action, we’re working to create a more just and equitable healthcare system for all.
By embedding equity into our organizational culture, we aim to lead by example and drive systemic change within the broader healthcare landscape.
