Dr. Tonya Hawthorne

New Frontiers Health Force began as a vision of Dr. Tonya Hawthorne and was founded in September 1997 as a non-profit charitable organization recognized by the IRS.  Dr. Hawthorne, a board certified Osteopathic Family Physician, had a busy practice in Clearwater, Florida until November 1998 when she left private practice to dedicate her talents to serve the world.

The mission of New Frontiers Health Force has been to take primary care medical teams on a short-term basis to underdeveloped nations partnering with different agencies and organizations.  The majority of the places teams are sent have little to no health care available.  Since the inception of the organization, NFHF has traveled to many nations, participated in disaster relief around the globe, given away millions of dollars of medications and hygiene supplies, and offered hope to thousands of hurting people.

"There is no greater joy in life than to be fulfilling the destiny God has set before you.  My life is measured in smiles, hugs, and expressions of sincere gratitude from people of all colors, races and creed."

Dr. Tonya Gets President's Call to Service Award

At NFHF's Annual Benefit in 2004, Dr. Tonya received the President's Call to Service Award, the highest level of awards given for volunteer service established by President 

George W. Bush.

 Dr. Tonya said, "I am just someone who has taken her God-given talents and used them to make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate."
