WE BRIDGE ACCESS TO EVIDENCE-BASED RESOURCES BY CONSOLIDATING AND ADAPTING TO FIT SPECIFIC COMMUNITY NEEDS
THE NEED
WE SEE
• Half of our world's population lacks access to basic health care.
• The most common illnesses around the world are treatable and/or preventable.
• The poorest and most remote communities have the least-educated health care providers and the greatest burden of illness.
• Health care education and
delivery is a proven pathway to development.

OUR RESPONSE
• We partner with established organizations in ‘last mile’ communities with minimal access to medical education or health care resources.
• We provide culturally sensitive clinical care to treat prevalent illnesses in these communities.
• We convey practical medical education and serve as an ongoing resource for community health workers.
• We share resources and tools with local and visiting healthcare providers.
• We help to accelerate our global neighbors’ journey toward self- reliance and thriving development.
