Since 1993, Medwish International has
Since 1993, Medwish International has diverted surplus medical supplies from landfills into the hands of caregivers around the world, so far providing supplies to 115 countries. These perfectly usable medical supplies are donated from local hospitals, sorted, and then shipped to medically marginalized communities with the support of medical missions, clinics, hospitals, and nonprofits.
For the last 15 years, Medworks, has provided free medical care to those in need in Northeast Ohio who may be uninsured or underinsured. Initially, they provided a wide range of services, but after the Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, they now fill the gaps that still exist, mainly in vision, dental, and women's health.
Today, the two nonprofits announced their intentions to merge and combine resources to remove barriers to health care locally and also address health care disparities in neighborhoods of need.
"[What] the public is going to see is more of us [will] have more opportunities to engage in patients that need our services locally and supplies locally to have more access points and more opportunity to see our doctors, our dentists, and supplies," Medworks founder Zac Ponsky said.
The merger makes sense and streamlines services, and it also creates one of the biggest volunteer opportunities in town.
"Whether you want to do international brigades, whether you want to volunteer on a daily basis, sorting of supplies, or you want to go to dental clinics and vision clinics here at in our own backyard, we are going to have just a multiplier effect on the ability to engage people, to volunteer, to help people in our own community," Ponsky explained.
It also helps that the two organizations are run by brothers.
"Our community is a very giving community, not only financially but with their time, and we're going to be now providing one of the largest organizations assisting in the health care space," Dr. Lee Ponsky, founder of Medwish International, said.
