Medical Bridges Inc We save, procure, repurpose donated medical surplus and distribute it to resource-limited healthcare facilities worldwide. Thus Medical Bridges ® was born.

We are bridging the healthcare gap worldwide! 💛
www.medicalbridges.org Medical Bridges ® recovers medical surplus that would otherwise be discarded and redistributes it locally for disaster response, and to hospitals, clinics and healthcare providers in less fortunate countries. Our goal is to bridge the healthcare gap, connecting those who have with those who hope. Each person who receives medical care because of a Medical Bridges ® donation is a testament to the power of giving health and giving hope. WHERE SURPLUS FINDS PURPOSE

Over $9 billion of medical supplies are discarded each year in the United States. As medical technologies advance, outmoded (but perfectly good) equipment and supplies gather dust in hospital storage rooms across the nation. At the same time, people all over the world are suffering and dying because their community urgently needs these life saving tools. In 1997 Dr. Patricia Brock decided to do something about the waste. On a medical mission to El Salvador, she was struck by the country’s lack of basic medical supplies. Upon returning to Houston, Dr. Brock, and a group of concerned individuals, established a recycling program to channel unused medical equipment and supplies (everything from MRI machines to bandages) to qualified healthcare providers who desperately needed them.

Her commitment to care reaches well beyond the hospital.

Meet our 2026 One People One World Gala honoree, Jeanna Bamburg, FACHE, CHT, Chief Executive Officer of The Woman's Hospital of Texas.
With more than 30 years of hospital leadership experience, Jeanna brings a deep commitment to advancing women's health, supporting healthcare teams, and creating exceptional experiences for patients and families.
That commitment extends throughout Houston. Through her leadership of March of Dimes and American Heart Association campaigns, she has helped lead teams that raised more than $4 million to support their missions.

At Medical Bridges, we recognize the connection between strong healthcare leadership and our own work; helping dedicated professionals access the equipment and supplies they need to care for their communities.

On October 15, join us in celebrating Jeanna at the One People One World Gala, presented by Chevron. Enjoy a culinary and cultural celebration featuring five regions, time to mingle and a shared purpose that reaches the world.

From Houston to Rwanda, a shared commitment of care.

This week, our Medical Bridges team loaded a container of medical supplies bound for Rwanda; resources to help healthcare professionals care for the communities they serve.
Our heartfelt thanks to Gaudy Foundation for helping make this shipment possible and for its commitment to dignity, care, and hope for women and children.
Behind every pallet is a purpose: a healthcare team better equipped, a patient supported and a family with more reason to hope.

To our donors, volunteers, and partners: thank you for being part of this bridge. Together, we turn generosity into resources that help care reach further.

From Houston to The Gambia.

Yesterday, Medical Bridges loaded a shipment of medical supplies and equipment bound for The Gambia.
Each item carries the potential to support a diagnosis, a treatment, or a moment of relief for a patient and their family.

A patient may never know the name of the person who made sure their medical equipment was ready. But that person’s work is part of their care.

At Medical Bridges, that connection gives Johnny Duong’s work its meaning. As our Biomedical Technician, he helps ensure equipment is safe and reliable, supporting healthcare professionals as they care for their communities.

We’re proud to celebrate Johnny as a finalist for Humanitarian of the Year in TechNation’s Tech Choice Awards!

In Johnny’s words: “It is about people, purpose, and a legacy of service.”

This recognition shines a light on the expertise and responsibility behind every piece of equipment, and the people who bring that commitment to work each day.

Help us celebrate Johnny with your vote!

A warm welcome and an encouraging conversation about bringing healthcare resources closer to the people who need them most.

This week, Medical Bridges welcomed Hon. David Maraga, former Chief Justice of Kenya, and his delegation for a tour and discussion with Walter Ulrich, President & CEO; Dr. Tadia Diallo, Director of Global Health; and Akinyi Adoyo, Head of Marketing.

Together, we explored ways to help medical supplies and equipment reach underserved communities in Kenya more smoothly and effectively.

Behind every shipment is a healthcare team ready to serve, and patients counting on them. We’re grateful for the thoughtful exchange and shared commitment to helping resources reach where they can make the greatest difference.

Behind each moment are people bringing their time, expertise, and care to a shared purpose.

Our September Chronicle of Caring celebrates these connections, and a meaningful milestone: our first shipment to São Tomé and Príncipe, the 108th country reached by Medical Bridges.

Inside, meet the partners moving this work forward, explore conversations strengthening global health collaboration, and discover how to join us at the One People One World Gala on October 15.
