Our Mission and Vision
Miadibes Cares: A Mission of Hope in the Blue Mountains
by Kelly Mahfood
This book recounts the founding of a grassroots nonprofit delivering health services to underserved Jamaican communities, beginning in Mount Prospect.
Sparked by Mahfood’s nursing career and deep family ties, the organization launched a health fair in June 2025 despite major funding and logistical challenges.
Through faith, volunteers, and community support, Miadibes Cares provided screenings, supplies, and education.
The book offers both inspiration and a practical guide for replicating the effort, aiming to expand care and advocacy in rural Jamaica.
Our Core Services

We provide essential, on-site health assessments during our annual health fair and pop-up clinics, including:
Vision checks
