History of ISBHA 

ISBHA (International Society for Better Health Access) was founded in 2004.  ISBHA’s activities started in 2002, prior to its formal registration as a 501 C.  The initial focus of the organization was to provide health care primarily focused on HIV, Palliative care/Hospice, and general care for women and children wherever there was an identified need.   

Over the past 20 years, ISBHA in partnership with the community in Fresno, CA, has provided services to women’s HIV support groups, care at homeless shelters, and developed a cultural competency and poverty medicine curriculum with the UCSF program.  The ISBHA team was also involved in assisting with the initial ART rollout in Africa and completed a needs assessment for Hospice care in Ethiopia in collaboration with Hospice Africa.
