GHI collaborates with International Partner Sites in support of Loma Linda University Health's international outreach mission, to improve health around the world. We send employees, students, and other volunteer professionals to partner with other health professionals overseas to improve access and the quality of patient care. GHI offers short-term and long-term service opportunities for volunteers and international healthcare professionals. In addition, we provide triage and the procurement of appropriate medical equipment and supplies, much of which comes out of our own healthcare system.
Students for International Mission Service or SIMS exemplifies the Loma Linda's commitment to global service, incorporating international service opportunities into academic curriculum in order to prepare health professions students for a career of effective global service and to promote the health of global communities.
