The mission of the Center for Global Initiatives is to help in the creation of self-sustaining programs that improve access to healthcare in underserved communities throughout the world. It is our goal to “Open-Source Humanitarian Intervention.”
Conceptually, we see the problem we address as healthcare services, sciences, systems, education, and research all suffer from disconnections — globally and locally, biologically and behaviorally, training and practice. Health inequities are global in scale; however, it is the Center's philosophy to successfully address these injustices through multiple, smaller scale projects, with a coordinated focus and outcome accountability. We have been endorsed by Great Nonprofits since 2013 and hold a Platinum Level rating from GuideStar.
Generally, we:
• Serve as an incubator for new initiatives that creatively solve healthcare inequities throughout the world.
• Act as a collaborator with individuals and organizations in developing and launching projects that address the needs of medically impoverished populations.
• Function as a facilitator in directing public and private resources towards programs aimed at improving health.
• Work as an educator to provide new information and tools to empower others.
