Foundation for International Medical Relief of Children is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving pediatric and maternal health in the developing world through the implementation of innovative and self-sustainable health improvement programs.
FIMRC is excited to present its Chaptership Program. Chapters lie at the heart of FIMRC’s mission to provide medical care to children worldwide. Our ever-expanding Chaptership network extends across the United States and internationally, with 62 chapters worldwide. Most of these chapters are based in colleges and universities in the US and are composed of motivated individuals who hope to support the mission of FIMRC through participating in our Global Health Volunteer Program, fundraisers, and local events. FIMRC chapters play a number of vital roles including raising funds for special medical projects, coordinating volunteer groups to travel to our clinic sites, raising awareness of public health, and providing service in their own communities. Through their efforts, chapters small and large have directly contributed to the health of thousands of children worldwide.
A chapter finds its strength in the teamwork of many individuals. FIMRC continues to grow and thrive thanks to the incredible support of our Chaptership family. If you are interested in joining a FIMRC Chapter, please don’t hesitate to contact the Chaptership Team at chaptership@fimrc.org. We would love to help connect you with an active Chapter in your area so that you too may help promote the mission of FIMRC to provide access to medical care for the millions of underprivledged and medically underserved children around the world.

Mission Statement
To provide access to medical care for the millions of underprivileged and medically underserved families around the world. Through determination and the belief that all children deserve health, FIMRC declares itself as a major force in the delivery of healthcare worldwide - one clinic and one child at a time.
Description
At FIMRC, we strive to influence the health of families by encouraging and supporting individuals and groups who desire to travel to medically underserved areas of the world. FIMRC believes that better health is best achieved by direct care to those who can least access it. FIMRC organizes trips for volunteers to our clinics on an ongoing basis in an effort to supplement the care being delivered by local professionals. Medical volunteers work together to do physicals and deliver acute care as necessary. Non-medical volunteers assist with translating, administration, and a variety of other tasks.
We also encourage future health leaders to become involved in our purpose by recognizing their achievements. We encourage students to start a FIMRC chapter and participate in local community service activities as well as visit a FIMRC clinic so that they may experience firsthand the goal of healthier children worldwide - the end result of FIMRC's vision.
We have project sites in the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Ecuador, two sites in Peru, India, Uganda and the Philippines.
