FOUNDED IN 1999, MEDICAL MISSIONS FOR CHILDREN (MMC) IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE MEDICAL OUTCOMES OF CRITICALLY-ILL CHILDREN IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN THE US AND THROUGHOUT THE WORLD BY FACILITATING THE TRANSFER OF MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE FROM THOSE WHO HAVE IT TO THOSE WHO NEED IT. MMC FACILITATES REAL-TIME INTERACTIVE MEDICAL CONSULTATIONS AND EDUCATION, AS WELL AS, PROVIDING UNLIMITED ACCESS TO A WORLD CLASS REPOSITORY OF DIGITALLY-STORED MEDICAL VIDEOS. ACCESS TO MMC'S MEDICAL VIDEO LIBRARY IS ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH THE USE OF A FREE INTERNET-BASED SEARCH, RETRIEVAL AND "VIEW-ON-DEMAND" CAPABILITY. MMC IS DEDICATED TO BRINGING THE HIGHEST QUALITY RESOURCES DIRECTLY TO SICK CHILDREN USING A COMBINATION OF MEDICAL EDUCATION, DISTANCE MEDICINE AND THE HEALING INFLUENCE OF LAUGHTER WITH ITS HOSPITAL BASED GIGGLES CHILDREN'S THEATER PROGRAM.
MMC'S TELEMEDICINE OUTREACH PROGRAM (TOP) PROVIDES THE MEDICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL EXPERTISE NEEDED TO BRING SPECIALIZED MEDICAL CARE TO OUR WORLD'S SICKEST CHILDREN-WITHOUT REGARD TO GEOGRAPHIC AND CULTURAL BOUNDARIES. TAPPING INTO THE VOLUNTEER SPIRIT OF THE U.S. PEDIATRIC MEDICAL COMMUNITY, TOP CREATES THE POSSIBILITY FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS IN OVER 100 DEVELOPING NATIONS TO DRAW UPON THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR NATION'S FINEST PEDIATRIC SUB-SPECIALISTS IN ORDER TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND TREAT CHILDREN WITH A MYRIAD OF COMPLEX MEDICAL CONDITIONS.
MMC'S MEDICAL EDUCATION EFFORTS ARE REALIZED THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TWO KEY PROGRAMS, THE MMC GLOBAL VIDEO LIBRARY OF MEDICAL (GVLM) AND THE MMC MEDICAL BROADCASTING CHANNEL. MMC'S GLOBAL VIDEO LIBRARY OF MEDICINE IS THE DIGITAL REPOSITORY OF THOUSANDS OF VIDEO-BASED MEDICAL LECTURES, BREAKING NEWS PROGRAMS, SYMPOSIA AND TRAINING SESSIONS, ALL OF WHICH SERVE AS A RESEARCH PLATFORM FOR HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. DRAWING UPON THE MEDICAL EXCELLENCE OF SUCH REPUTABLE INSTITUTIONS AS THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE, THE MEDICAL CENTERS AT HARVARD, YALE, JOHNS HOPKINS AND COLUMBIA, AND THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, THE GVLM SERVES AS ONE OF THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCES OF CLINICAL AND MEDICAL RESEARCH CONTENT AVAILABLE ON THE PUBLIC INTERNET. MMC'S MEDICAL BROADCASTING CHANNEL (MBC) IS A SATELLITE-AND INTERNET-BASED DISTRIBUTION TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS MMC TO DELIVER MEDICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMMING TO DOCTORS AND ALLIED HEALTH WORKERS ACROSS THE GLOBE - 24/7/365. DRAWING MEDICAL CONTENT FROM ITS OWN GVLM, MMC SIMULCASTS ITS DAILY BROADCAST SCHEDULE VIA THE INTELSAT SATELLITE NETWORK AND THE INTERNET2 MULTICAST PLATFORM. THE COMBINED REACH OF THESE CONCURRENT DISTRIBUTION METHODS IS PRESENTLY MORE THAN 2 MILLION HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.
MMC'S GIGGLES CHILDREN'S THEATER (GIGGLES) DRAWS ITS CURTAINS THREE TIMES EACH WEEK TO BRING THE HEALING POWERS OF LAUGHTER AND ENTERTAINMENT TO HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN IN THE CITY OF PATERSON, NJ AND BETHESDA, MD. LOCATED AT ST. JOSEPH'S CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND THE CHILDREN'S INN ON THE CAMPUS OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH (NIH), GIGGLES CREATES AN ATMOSPHERE OF LEVITY FOR SICK CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, THEREBY STIMULATING THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, WHICH IN TURN MASSAGES EVERY ORGAN IN THE BODY.
