It’s an origin story worthy of a Hollywood movie—an impassioned doctor petitioning the president of the United States to donate a Navy ship to be converted into a sailing hospital to deliver medical care, health education, and hope to underserved communities around the world. (A documentary about Project Hope’s maiden voyage won an Oscar for best documentary short in 1961.) Some 54 years later and long after the SS Hope sailed its last voyage, Project HOPE—still burning with equal parts passion and purpose—connected with Booz Allen volunteers for help in creating a culture of innovation that would keep its work alive and thriving for another 50 years and counting.
