​Executive Committee


Managing Director/President: Francis P. Duggan, M.D.


Vice President: Henry M. Disano


Treasurer: John M. Griffin


Secretary: Mary L. Moran, M.D

Francis P. Duggan, M.D - Founder/President

Dr. Duggan is the Founder and Managing Director of Health Care Volunteers International (hcvi.org). He is actively involved in all HCVI projects. Before opening HCVI, he had already spent approximately 1/3 of the prior 15 years doing international volunteer medicine and had been on an estimated 50+ volunteer medical and surgical missions with other organizations in numerous locations around the globe. He is board-certified in the USA in Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine but has become somewhat of a "jack of all trades" out of necessity, working in remote and under-served areas worldwide. Currently, the majority of his volunteer work is surgical and procedural. He is particularly interested in how technology can be leveraged to drive better health outcomes.


HCVI began operations in January of 2014.  Dr. Duggan has been responsible for overseeing the startup of HCVI, including project development in Africa (Kenya, Guinea Equatorial), Latin America (Nicaragua, Honduras), and Southeast Asia (Cambodia) Meanwhile, he maintains an active practice in Emergency Medicine in the United States. He has funded all operations since inception but looks forward to the opportunity for HCVI to begin large-scale fundraising to support its numerous meaningful projects.


In January of 2015, while on a volunteer trip to Nicaragua, Dr. Duggan was involved in a near-fatal car accident. He sustained a multitude of fractures in 22 broken bones and was hospitalized for most of the first half of 2015 and could not ambulate without assistance for over 1 year. He underwent a total of 12 major surgeries related to the accident including bilateral knee surgery, bilateral hip replacement, and numerous pelvic reconstructive surgeries. Looking for a silver lining, he states he now has an excuse for his dancing skills.


This was a major setback for the organization; however, Dr. Duggan has managed to not only sustain existing projects but to initiate others during this difficult period. For a large part of the year, this was done from his "office/hospital bed". He cites this, in addition to his significant financial contribution, as a reflection of HCVI's commitment to its stated mission.


As we enter 2016, Dr. Duggan is looking forward to returning to his more active on-site role in project management and patient care. He still has extensive rehab/PT in front of him and a few more surgeries but is heading to Cambodia in February 2016 to resume this more active role. Nevertheless, he would advise against taking his odds in a foot race for the foreseeable future.
