Abaco Legacy Medical Campaign

Abaco Strong is proud to work together with The Liquid Legacy and World Cataract Foundation to help bring much needed, free medical services to Abaco. So far, the Abaco Legacy Medical Campaign has brought free medical clinics to Coopers Town, Treasure Cay, Green Turtle Cay, Foxtown, and Marsh Harbour. We’ve served over 1,500 patients and performed over 200 cataract and pterygium surgeries, with hundreds more scheduled for 2026.

Hyperbaric Chamber

In 2022, after the tragic loss of a young Abaconian diving for crawfish, a coalition of community organizations—including Abaco Strong, One Abaco Foundation, Bahamas Caves Research Foundation, and Resurrect Abaco Association—came together to purchase and install a hyperbaric chamber in Marsh Harbour, Abaco.

This chamber is one of the only functioning hyperbaric chambers in all of The Bahamas—a critical safety net for divers and a vital medical resource for our island community. Its presence is one more representation of what’s possible when we come together in the face of loss.

But life-saving equipment alone is not enough.

Today, this chamber is limited by a lack of reliable oxygen. We currently have just six tanks—barely enough for a single emergency—and refilling them requires costly and time-consuming trips to Nassau. In a true crisis, we cannot afford to simply be hoping there’s enough.

Project Oxygen exists so that we never have to wonder.

If you’d like to make a donation to Project Oxygen, you’d be turning tragedy into preparedness—transforming this chamber from a symbol of loss into a lifeline of hope. You’d be giving more than oxygen; you’d be giving time, giving hope, and quite possibly giving someone the chance to come home.
