InterVol was founded in 1992 for the
purpose of bridging local hospitals and medical professionals with
other countries and care giving organizations. We create
connections for growth, efficiency, collaboration and success.
Volunteerism isn’t simply about giving in order to feel
good. We seek to create connections.
WE envision a better, more connected world, where people, materials,
opportunities, and needs are brought together for mutual benefit.
InterVol’s current programs include the Recovery of Unused
Medical Supplies (RUMS), Volunteer Medical Professionals (VMP), and
Friends Across Borders (FAB).
Recovery
of Unused Medical Supplies - RUMS
In 2005, RUMS collected 384,985
lbs of unused supplies; 99% of which would have been
discarded if not for InterVol’s recovery efforts.
Materials are sent to non-US health care facilities, clinics, and
medical education programs.
Volunteer
Medical Personel - VMP
InterVol also sends teams of healthcare
professionals to areas with significant medical need. We
provide medical and surgical care, as well as resources to increase the
healthcare infrastructure of the areas where we work—program
planning, equipment, and supplies.
Friends Across Borders
- FAB
InterVol’s newest program, Friends Across Borders, was
developed in 2004 to work closely with local US schools to create
learning opportunities in the International communities in which our
volunteers work. FAB’s current projects include
education through technology and literacy. All
FAB’s activities are delivered through a service learning and
civic involvement model.
