Global Medical Relief Program
The Global Medical Relief Program is a nationwide student organization that strives to make quality health care available to people around the world. By providing doctors and other health care professionals with the equipment and resources they need, GlobeMed facilitates the growth of solid health care infrastructure in developing regions—where it is needed most. The most important tenet of the philosophy of GlobeMed is their firm belief in the competence and compassion of local health care professionals. GlobeMed believes in the fundamental human right to health and adequate health care that is too-often thwarted by lack of funding, resources, and facilities in underdeveloped countries. The organization also realizes that donating supplies, while vital to reaching our goal, is only part
of the solution to the world health crisis. Thus, in addition to regular shipments of medical supplies, GlobeMed's growing mission has come to include raising funds for promotion of health education, sponsoring disaster-relief drives, and networking with dozens of
organizations worldwide such as NAEIF. |

Healing the Culture
Healing the Culture is a nonprofit educational organization which seeks to build
a pro-life culture by inspiring individuals to uphold the intrinsic dignity of
every human person, and by helping them to live for deeper meaning and purpose.
We believe that abortion, euthanasia, and other threats against human life and
dignity are caused by profoundly unhealthy attitudes in our culture.
Specifically, our culture has misguided notions about happiness, success,
quality of life, love, sexuality, suffering, ethics, freedom, personhood,
rights, and the common good. All of these misguided notions contribute
significantly to a "culture of death." To remedy this, we train teachers,
pastors, religious educators, counselors, medical professionals, political
leaders, and other persons of influence to cultivate healthier notions of these
terms among their constituencies. We provide materials, resources, networks,
speakers, retreats, training seminars, consultations, video and DVD learning
systems, school curricula, articles, and other resources which aim to transform
cultural attitudes and beliefs in ways that affirm the intrinsic dignity of the
person and lead to a pro-life culture. Healing the Culture was founded in 2003
by Robert J. Spitzer, S.J. (President of
Gonzaga University) and
Camille De Blasi. |
