INMED Is Certainly A Chosen Vessel
"I have been living in China and training community health workers for two decades. What an honor to share my insights at the INMED Exploring Medical Missions Conference! Every aspect of the conference is marked by excellence. Most notable are the large number of committed healthcare professionals, the quality of the speakers, and the broad array of participating sending organizations. I'm sincerely thankful for the work done by INMED to care for orphans, widows, lepers, disabled and others marginalized by society. We are constantly asking the Lord to supply more workers for realizing His vision and mission. INMED is certainly one of His chosen vessels." Rob Cheeley, MD Recipient of the China Friendship Award Bless China International |

The entire INMED staff and volunteers not only strive for excellence but more importantly they listen, ask the difficult questions, and challenge us to continually assess how we serve.

Life-Changing Connections

However, I walked away from that first Conference inspired, connected, and affirmed in my dream to care for the underserved. Each year that I attend this conference, I experience life-changing connections that help me move forward on my path to international service work. It is truly humbling and inspiring to be in the presence of so many talented and selfless individuals, and I look forward each year to the ways in which INMED helps me solidify my passion to serve the underserved."

Challenging Professionals To Look Beyond Themselves
"INMED and Dr. Nicholas Comninellis fill an incredible gap by challenging medical professionals to be a part of something bigger than themselves, bigger than their own medical practice at home. INMED's medical conferences train, inspire, and challenge hundreds of medical students, physicians, and other medical providers who, in turn, travel the world using their skills to make an impact in overall health and well being. Thanks INMED!" Robert E. McGurty, MEd India Area Director AG World Missions |
Best Investment In Medical Missions
"I have personally enjoyed the Exploring Medical Missions Conference for many reasons. The material presented is both nuts and bolts medical information for use on the field as well as material to help in implementing a trip. There are also opportunities to be challenged spiritually that are unique. There is open access to the real heroes, people doing the long-term work from all over the world. They are accessible and not just rushed off the stage. This is probably the best investment of time in medical mission work I have participated in." Patrick Railey, M.D. Director OM Medical Ministries |
Exhibiting At INMED: Much More Than A Display Booth
"Health Teams International exhibits at a variety of mission conferences. As coordinator, I have discovered that the INMED Conference both introduces us to interested attendees and gives us opportunity to talk with like-minded organizations. Thus we are learning new ideas, making new contacts, hearing dynamic speakers, building new professional relationships, and even partnerships with other organizations. What an exciting and beneficial way to extend God's hand through short-term mission work!" Gerald Roussie, PhD Executive Director Health Teams International |
Expanding My Horizons
