PMI exists to provide sustainable, quality healthcare to those in need while increasing accessibility to global medical missions.

Founded in 2008, PMI was conceived by Matt Alexander, a veteran non-profit leader, and Dr. Ed O’Bryan, a physician and long-time medical missions director. While Ed divulged his passion for global medical missions, Matt saw an incredible potential for making a difference in the world through the mobilization of people in his community. United by their common belief that a new way to treat underserved populations was possible, they organized a diverse group of collaborators and supporters to form PMI and create an opportunity to test their vision. Our vision is to see impoverished communities take ownership in a sustainable healthcare model, so that they may become empowered to bring about long-term change and tangible improvements in quality of life. Furthermore, it is our desire to provide allied healthcare professionals and students the opportunity to impact the lives of people in need across the world. PMI is committed to having a sustainable medical presence in our partnering communities through the development of comprehensive medical centers. In keeping with our sustainable healthcare model, the medical centers are staffed by locals on the ground, creating jobs in the region and giving ownership to those for whom it is intended. We utilize short-term medical trips to support and gain recognition for the medical centers while they undergo construction. PMI piloted our first medical center in Masindi, Uganda and, after significant successes, we are excited to expand our model of sustainable, quality healthcare into Viejo, Nicaragua.
