Message from our founder

On behalf of our great team, I would like to welcome you to Physicians on the Go, Inc. We are always at the service of the community, working with passion and dedication to serve the underserved and reach the unreachable.

The vision for this organization began from an actual dream one night in 2018 where I saw myself using the prosperity of a community to help the less fortunate in nearly unreachable places. This dream was an epiphany and the glue to the thoughts I had concerning my passion and from it came a clear mission: bridging the gap between health, healing, and underserved communities around the globe.

Over time, we realized that in order to not dilute our efforts, be effective, efficient and sustainable, we had to focus our efforts to maximize impact. We developed a three-pronged approach that we now affectionately call "The 3 Ms": Missions, Ministry and Medicine.

We see this nonprofit organization as a vehicle through which we can fund, support or partner with projects or organizations that share our vision.

We are excited for what the future holds for this organization and the communities we will serve and welcome many of you to join us as a sponsor, volunteer or partner.
