Palmetto Medical Initiative

Their Story

In the fall of 2008 Dr. Ed O’Bryan and Matt Alexander began a life-changing conversation that would become the core of what is today the Palmetto Medical Initiative. While Ed shared his passion for global medical missions, Matt saw the incredible potential for making a difference in the world through the people in the state of South Carolina. PMI exists to provide sustainable, quality healthcare to those in need while increasing accessibility to global medical missions.

PMI's Vision

The vision is to see impoverished communities take ownership in a provided sustainable healthcare model so that they may become empowered to bring about long-term change and tangible improvements in quality of life. Furthermore, it is our desire that every allied healthcare professional and student in South Carolina be given the opportunity to impact the lives of people in need across the world.

"Palmetto Medical Initiative is very excited to partner with Commonwealth Financial Group for thier annual Golf Tournament. By working together we will be able to impact the lives of people in need. The funding raised through the event will be directed toward our goal of providing quality, sustainable healthcare to the people of Masindi, Uganda where we are developing a comprehensive medical center operated by trained Ugandan staff. Please come and take part in what is sure to be an amazing day on the course for a great cause".
