Show Notes

Project Cure CEO Douglas Jackson, PhD shares the mission of Project Cure in a wide ranging discussion that illustrates the incredible supply chain expertise of Project Cure.

Project C.U.R.E. was founded in 1987 to address the staggering shortage of medical resources around the world. Project C.U.R.E. has become the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies, equipment and services to doctors and nurses serving the sick and dying in more than 135 countries.

Each week Project C.U.R.E. delivers approximately three to five semi-truck-sized ocean containers packed with the medical equipment and supplies desperately needed to save lives in hospitals and clinics in resource-limited countries. In addition, each year hundreds of healthcare professionals travel with Project C.U.R.E. to provide medical treatment to communities in need and training to those dedicated to serving them. Project C.U.R.E. is supported by over 30,000 volunteers annually and operates distribution warehouses in seven U.S. cities.
