GBIS Affiliated

MedShare International, a 501-(c)-3 non-profit organization, provides vital medical supplies and equipment to economically developing countries by recycling unneeded surplus from U.S. manufacturers, distributors and healthcare systems. MedShare recovers and delivers medical goods that are valuable and needed, but which would be discarded due to procedural excess, regulatory requirements or production overage. Shipments go to qualified healthcare facilities in developing countries and are customized by direct product orders from MedShare's stock by the recipient institutions. MedShare offers U.S. healthcare providers and suppliers an environmentally and
socially responsible alternative to throwing away medical materials. John D. Archbold Memorial Hospital, an institutional member of GBIS, donated several pieces of medical equipment to MedShare in 2006.

Volunteers are always needed by MedShare. Tools are also needed for the Biomed area at MedShare. Contact Eben at MedShare for more information.
