Global Health Corps

Global Health Corps mobilizes a global community of emerging leaders to build the movement for health equity. We place recent college graduates and young professionals from diverse professional backgrounds in health non-profits and government offices in the US, East Africa and Southern Africa for a year of service in order to strengthen and learn from the organization. 

Global Health Media Project

Global Health Media Project was founded to put practical, life-saving knowledge into the hands of healers at the point of care. Our mission is to produce and distribute high-quality clinical videos that are tailored to the learning needs and low-resource realities of health providers in poor countries.  The videos will be free and disseminated broadly.

Health

Health.com delivers relevant information in clear, jargon-free language that puts health into context in peoples' lives. Through medical content, insights from experts and real people, and breaking news, we answer: how it happened, what it feels like, what you can do about it, and why it matters.

Health Without Borders Foundations

The Health Without Borders Foundation (Fundacion Salud Sin Fronteras) is an established health care organization providing healthcare to the less fortunate in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. We have served over 2 million patients in 14 years in our 16 clinic sites in Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Peru. We also offer two volunteering programs for Pre-med , Dental, and Nursing students. 

Healthline Crowdfunding

Healthline's crowdfunding tool makes medical fundraising easy, enabling users to give help and hope to friends, family and grups they believe in. On the FundRazr-backed platform, users specify a fundraising goal and deadline, then use social media to get the word out. As campaigns progress, campaigners can provide updates to thank existing donors and encourage new ones, all the while feeling good about making a positive difference. 

Healthnoise

Healthnoise is a platform for healthcare professionals and students to communicate with one another and the Internet community. The ultimate goal of Healthnoise is to create an educated patient population, while also introducing knowledgable healthcare professionals to the world.

Healthy Child Healthy World

Healthy Child Healthy World ignites the movement that empowers parents to protect children from harmful chemicals. With a growing body of evidence linking everyday environmental contaminants to asthma, learning disabilities, obesity, cancer and more, Healthy Child translates the science and inspires parents and caregivers to create healthy environments where families can flourish.

Help Remedies

Everybody in the drug aisle likes to talk about more, bigger, extra, super, and maximum. But we’re not going to talk about that. We think people get enough drugs, dyes, and nonsense from other kinds of drug companies. Help® is a new type of drug company—a drug company that promises you less.

Hope Phones

We created the Hope Phones campaign in 2009 as an innovative way to fund the global efforts of Medic Mobile, our parent organization that advances healthcare in 11 countries with mobile technology. Half a million cell phones are discarded in the United States every day and pollute the environment with tons of plastic and persistent toxins like lead, nickel, beryllium, and cadmium. Cell phone recycling through Hope Phones reduces hazardous waste in our communities responsibly, while providing a real public health benefit abroad.
If Hope Phones can recycle just 1% of disposed phones each year, we can outfit 1 million health workers, improving the lives of 50 million people. 

Innovation.org

Innovation.org, a project of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, is a place to discuss and learn about pharmaceutical innovation.
