The Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation (PCHHF)

The foundation provides vital assistance to improve the health and well being of families in developing countries. The programs fuel the potential for lasting good, by providing early intervention to children or young adults where services are unavailable due to logistics or financial reasons. The Foundation harnesses the expertise of medical professionals and volunteers to identify opportunities for maximum social impact in the developing world, and then funds and completes the medical or surgical interventions it has identified as being worthwhile. Dr. Tehrani currently serves as President of the Paul Chester Children’s Hope Foundation.
