MedWish MedWorks

Every Thursday, we take a moment to recognize the incredible people who make our mission possible. 💙

This week, we're celebrating our Friday morning all-star volunteers!

Pictured left to right: Stan, Audrey, Tom, Michael, Marjorie and Victoria. Together, this amazing team has contributed more than 5,500 volunteer hours to MedWish MedWorks—a milestone they reached last week.

Their years of dedication and consistent service have made them an invaluable part of our warehouse team. From sorting and counting medical supplies to packing supply boxes and preparing shipments, their hard work helps ensure lifesaving medical resources reach the communities that need them most.

As our Chief Supply Chain Officer Jennifer Buck shares:
"Our all-star volunteers are the backbone of MedWish MedWorks. Their reliability, dedication and knowledge allow them to take on advanced tasks that help keep our operations running smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for the time and commitment they give to our mission."

Thank you once again to this incredible team of volunteers for their dedicated service and the difference they make every day.

When hospitals need critical supplies, every shipment matters.

Today, our team loaded a 40-foot container of critical medical supplies and equipment for the Cleveland Maidan Association, bound for Ukraine. CMA President Dr. Taras Mahlay joined us onsite as more than 12,000 pounds of lifesaving resources began their journey.

Valued at more than $165,000, the shipment includes endoscopic instruments, hospital gurneys and other critical medical supplies that will support frontline hospitals and medical facilities in western Ukraine.

A portion of the shipment is also designated for the Cleveland Urology Medical Mission, which will return to Ukraine this fall to provide reconstructive surgery for patients affected by the war.

Together with dedicated organizations like the Cleveland Maidan Association, we're helping ensure vital medical care reaches those who need it most. 💙

Lights, camera, action! Today, the spotlight was on the stories that power our mission.

The team from Hyndsight Productions visited MedWish MedWorks to capture the people and purpose behind our work.

Our CEO, Britta Latz, shared how we're advancing health equity by connecting medically underserved communities with vital medical supplies and care. The crew also interviewed one of our dedicated medical brigade volunteers and a clinic patient, whose stories reflect the lasting impact of this work.

We're excited to debut the finished video at our annual MedBash on October 3. Stay tuned!

Another shipment is on its way!

Last week, our team loaded a 40-foot container bound for Ethiopia.
📦12,921 pounds of medical supplies and equipment
💙$223,600 in fair market value

This shipment is headed to ALERT Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Ethiopia's third-largest hospital, which cares for more than 450,000 patients each year.

Inside the container are hospital beds, ultrasound machines, surgical supplies, vital sign monitors, a ventilator, a cautery machine and other essential medical equipment that will help support patient care.

A special thank you to Board Member Dr. Sheldon Rose and Out of the Ashes, Inc. for partnering with us to make this shipment possible.

Supplies sorted. Futures inspired.

As part of their summer program, 18 rising juniors from Hope Ignites Northeastern Ohio spent an afternoon last week volunteering at MedWish MedWorks. Through their hard work, they helped prepare donated medical supplies to reach communities in need around the world.

Hope Ignites empowers young people through holistic development, education and leadership opportunities, and it was a joy to see those values in action.

This , we're celebrating these students and their commitment to giving back. Thank you to the Hope Ignites team for spending the day with us!
