Our Mission and Goals
We reduce medical waste by educating and connecting healthcare providers around the world. Please read about the individual ways we are standing by our mission statement.
01
Education
GMI transforms research and practical knowledge into presentations and guidelines for healthcare providers to implement every day. By raising awareness among health practitioners, we help hospitals save energy and materials- lowering costs and environmental impact!
02
Surplus Supply Collection
While GMI's goal is to help hospitals become zero-waste, we know that change doesn't happen overnight. When partner hospitals have surplus supplies that are still usable, GMI does the legwork to make sure they don't go to waste. We collect, sort, and donate to trustworthy organizations.
03
Global Health
GMI's mission is ultimately global. our international work ranges from directly donating surplus supplies abroad to supporting other green medicine efforts around the world. With our global perspective, we make sure that changes at home go farther to make the world a greener place.
04
Climate Change and Human Health
GMI advocates for greener healthcare practices because they have an impact on the environment, which directly affects our health. Rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns due to climate change have increased rates of disease as well as deaths due to natural disasters.
