About

  • United States
IMR is a nonprofit organization that provides health care to under-served and vulnerable people around the world. IMR recruits qualified medical and dental teams, public health professionals, and non-medical volunteers. We offer short-term assignments to conduct medical clinics in areas where medical care is limited or difficult to obtain. IMR was founded on the belief that knowledge of basic health facts and access to health care should not be the privilege of select nations, regions, or classes, but should be shared by as many people as possible. Our organization's purpose is to include some of the millions of people who have been excluded from today’s healthcare systems worldwide. In addition to acute medical and dental care, IMR provides extensive community health education so that people are empowered to provide for their own health, as well as for the health of other community members. We also partner with local medical, dental, and public health professionals during our clinics to share knowledge about diagnoses and treatment.
