Partners for World Health

PWH Director of Operations, Alan Clark attended the "Changemaker Panel" at Falmouth Middle School today, Friday, May 29th.

Each panelist talked about their non-profit and what type of changes we have made in our industry. Then there were breakout sessions where students were able to ask more direct questions to each of the panelists.

Alan spoke about our container program, medical trips, medical auction, MSP program, the PWH Chapters and how volunteers run 95% of what we do. “They had great questions and were very engaged. The ultimate goal for the students is to learn how they can advocate on the organization's behalf through their informative letter-writing.”

This week PWH loaded a container of medical equipment and supplies bound for Syria in partnership with the Multifaith Alliance PWH has been sending shipments to Syria since 2013 - this is our second shipment to Syria in 2026.

Thank you to the staff and volunteers who loaded the 1,054 items valued at $339,287. Items included 2 electrocautery machines, 1 EKG machine, 1 defibrillator, 1 patient monitor, 2 enteral pumps, 2 syringe pumps, and more than 300 boxes of PPE supplies.

Check back in a few weeks when the shipment arrives and we can update you on how our work impacts those in need!

Our friends Poland Spring Natural Spring Water donated 2 pallets of distilled water to help us run our autoclave. That is 70 cases, 420 gallon jugs of distilled water and close to 3700lbs.

This allows us to sterilize equipment that we ship so it can be immediately used upon arrival.
