Charities
With your help, we all support these incredible organizations.
Fundación Obsequio de Vida
Fundación Obsequio de Vida is a non-profit association created by the Club Rotario de Panamá in 1992, recognizing that in our country, a significant number of children are born annually with congenital heart problems. Most of these children can be cured with corrective treatment, whether surgical or through interventional catheterization.
As of October 2017, following the death of its President J. Thomas Ford, the foundation changed its name to Fundación Obsequio de Vida J. Thomas Ford to continue the legacy of helping children born with congenital heart problems who need curative procedures, diagnostics, or open-heart operations to survive.

Gorgas Hospital witnessed the birth of many of us Zonians and later evolved into the National Oncological Hospital. As a leader in cancer care, research, and prevention in Panama, it specializes in oncology with the primary aim of offering comprehensive medical, social, and familial support to the entire Panamanian population.
This mission is further strengthened by community involvement and a highly qualified, compassionate team of professionals dedicated to providing exceptional care.
