About Us

The Real Medicine Foundation was founded in May 2005 inspired by lessons we learned after working for months in the tsunami relief efforts in Sri Lanka. The Real Medicine Foundation provides humanitarian support to people living in disaster, post-war and poverty stricken areas, and continues to help communities long after the world’s spotlight has faded. We believe that "real" medicine is focused on the person as a whole by providing medical/physical, emotional, economic and social support. By using a personal approach, Real Medicine forms partnerships with individuals and existing organizations throughout the world, allowing us to create effective models and sustainable solutions that can be applied globally.   

Based on today's Best Practices Modern Medicine, Real Medicine Foundation utilizes a Comprehensive Integrative Primary Health Care Model, which also includes proven effective holistic methods. Programs addressing some of the developing world's most important issues, such as Maternal and Infant Mortality, Malaria, HIV/AIDS and Malnutrition are part of Real Medicine's commitment to treating the whole person and providing sustainable integrated solutions.  We establish mobile and stationary health clinics employing regional staff and tailoring them to local needs.   At home in the US, Real Medicine Foundation conducts healthcare outreach programs in Los Angeles, and has provided aid to Hurricane Katrina survivors.  

Driven by a focus on "one child at a time," and leveraging a streamlined organizational structure, in just four years Real Medicine Foundation has grown to operate in 13 countries in four continents around the world and has aligned with governments, international agencies, including the UN, to reach those most in need.

Partner with us and let’s make a difference in the world, together.
