MEDSHARE 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 15 years of bridging the gap between surplus and need The MedShare Model: How We Work Together

Our PARTNERSHIPS with hospitals and manufacturers ­provide us with the medical products our recipients need. Our VOLUNTEERS sort the donated product and pack it into boxes. Along with BIOMEDICAL EQUIPMENT, these boxes are SHIPPED overseas to public HOSPITALS and CLINICS in need. We also equip MEDICAL MISSION TEAMS with the medical supplies they need to carry for their mission trips. And through all this medical surplus redistribution, we’re helping the ENVIRONMENT and keeping life-saving products out of landfills.

Our Mission Our Community MedShare is dedicated to bridging the gap MedShare relies solely on the gen­erosity between surplus and need to improve health of individuals, foundations, corporations, care and the environment in the United and government grants to carry out its States and abroad. mission.

2 Dear Friends,

THE POWER OF ONE is not simply a theme for this report. It is a call to action: a belief that our individual talents and time are valuable and needed, to trust that one small act of kindness when joined with others creates a ripple effect that can build healthy communities locally and globally.

The Power of One symbolizes how one person’s desire and commitment to affect change and connect with others, can ­create an organization that makes a difference for many in communities around the world. That is at the heart of our ­mission at MedShare. Thomas Asher (left), and Charles Redding (right) In fiscal year 2014, edShareM shipped 1,738,027 pounds of medical supplies and equipment valued at $18.8 million USD in 128 forty­foot containers to public hospitals and clinics in 26 countries, and equipped 372 medical mission “One person’s desire to teams. As you read this report, you will see how the work of each one of our partners, donors, and volunteers in the affect change can is helping doctors and nurses at public create an organization hospitals across the globe get the supplies and equipment they need to provide quality health care to their patients. that makes a positive difference for many.” We also reached a number of milestones: our 1,000th ­container shipment of custom-ordered supplies and equip­ ment since our founding 15 years ago, and our expansion to a third U.S. with the opening of our Northeast Sort and Collection Center in Secaucus, New Jersey.

The power to serve and make a difference lies in each of us. We greatly appreciate your support of our work and we invite you to join us as we continue bridging the gap between surplus and need.

One donor’s gift can help many in need edShare Emeritus Board member Lewis Manderson, Jr. knows the Mpower of one very well. Manderson and his wife, Faye, have been long -time donors to MedShare and other southeastern U.S. education and health care nonprofit organizations. A member of MedShare’s 1998 Society, Manderson served on the MedShare Board of Trustees from 2000 through 2010. He and his wife agree that a personal connection with an organization is often what moves individuals to become finan­ cial supporters. “It could be a part of conversation or a story you acciden­ tally overhear,” added Faye Manderson. “Something that gets you thinking about ways you might be able to help.”

Over the years, the Mandersons have made major financial gifts to MedShare’s Annual Fund, Capital Campaign, and Humanitarian Relief Efforts for victims of the Tuscaloosa Tornado (AL), and Haitian Earthquake in 2011. “I just feel it’s important to try to help in any way that you can,” he said. “Nonprofit organizations like MedShare can’t do their work without strong financial support. That’s just the simple reality.” Faye and Lewis Manderson, Jr.

MedShare was expanding to the Western TUnited States with the opening of its Western Region office in San Leandro, Cali­fornia. John Morton walked in, looked at his wife, Joanna, and said, “We can do this.” Six years and over 2,965 volun­ teer hours later, Morton is MedShare’s volunteer with the greatest number of service hours. “We found like-minded people here who have the same hearts for giving back that we do,” he said.

A San Leandro resident for over 30 years, Morton is a former Kraft Foods employee, a company he says stressed corporate social responsibility. As MedShare volunteers, John and Joanna Morton have seen firsthand how the power of one can become the impact of many. “We’ve seen medical mission team members come to MedShare with tears in their eyes and tell us about the difference we’re making by sorting these supplies,” he said. “They come to our [Western Region] warehouse ‘clinic’ and tell us how similar it is to their own facilities, only their floors are made of mud, not concrete.”

Morton says most Americans would be shocked to learn how diffi­ cult it is for people in developing countries to receive the most John Morton basic medical care. “Surgeons in those countries use fi­ shing string for sutures because that’s all they have,” noted Morton. “We’re not medical professionals.

MedShare volunteers are stewards of environmental and humanitarian change. Their tremendous contribution magnifies our capacity to strengthen health care delivery systems around the globe, while engaging in eco-friendly practices to provide life-saving supplies for countless individuals in need. Their service and ­compassion is a hallmark to creating lasting change. MedShare could not begin to accomplish its mission without each of these generous individuals.

11 THE POWER OF ONE

Biomed Engineering Program ensures maximum impact for all equipment shipped n every 40-foot container MedShare ships, we provide pieces of BIOMEDICAL IEQUIPMENT that have been specifically selected by each recipient hospital and clinic. Some of those items include incubators, x-ray machines, exam tables, syringe pumps, anesthesia equipment, ultrasound machines, and blood gas analyzers. All biomedical equipment is thoroughly inspected and tested on site by our teams in Decatur, GA and San Leandro, CA. In fiscal year 2014, 342 In fiscal year 2014, MedShare shipped3,840 pieces of equipment and conducted five biomedical engineering training sessions for 451 local technicians, engineers, doctors, and nurses in 28 hospi­ students from Georgia Tech, Chattahoochee tals and 9 health centers in Liberia, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Cameroon, and Cote D’Ivoire.

The ultrasound machine (pictured at right) is the one piece of equipment included in MedShare container shipments in 2014 that continues to have the broadest impact on the recipients we serve.

At Keta Hospital in Ghana, for example, women with pregnancy complications and patients with other abdominal and cardiac issues had to be transported three to four hours to Accra, the capital city, for treatment because there was no ultrasound unit at the hospital. Many patients often did not survive that trip. Thanks to MedShare, the hospital now has an ultrasound machine on site that is helping to save the lives of many Ghanaian mothers and babies.
