Medical Missionaries collects goods from community organizations, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, businesses,
churches, other non-profit organizations, and individuals, and sends them to impoverished areas of the U.S. and worldwide.
Most of the supplies are gathered in the Mid-Atlantic States, from Baltimore to Richmond, and are provided by a network
of hospitals, nursing homes, and medical equipment supply companies with whom Medical Missionaries has developed a relationship
over the years. Sea containers of medicines and medical supplies are sent worldwide regularly from our warehouse outside
Manassas, Virginia.
Medical Missionaries also supplies medicines to other medical teams working
for similar causes. The medicines are donated by Project
Hope, the Catholic Medical Missions Board, and others.
Since its inception, Medical Missionaries has collected and dispersed more than $100 million worth of medical supplies and
medicines.
Medical Missionaries has particularly strong partnerships with several dozen organizations and groups that provide
medical services in Haiti. These groups sponsor clinics in Haiti and send visiting teams of medical professionals to
provide direct services to the poor, many of whom live in very rural and isolated parts of the country. Through its
partnership with these groups, Medical Missionaries provides medical help to an estimated 25% to 30% of the total population
of Haiti.
