FIMRC is dedicated to improving the health of families throughout the world through its network of outpatient clinics and partnerships. FIMRC maintains a multidimensional plan which implements clinical services, extensive community outreach efforts and health education programs.
MDF had the pleasure of working with The Traveling Nurse K Chandler Rosemont for her trip to Costa Rica this past year. Chandler is a Pediatric CVICU Registered Nurse, she invests her time into ensuring her trained knowledge is put to great fortune with anyone she works with. She is sponsored by FIGS and utilizes any opportunity she comes across to help those in need around the globe.
Most of her work consists of filling prescriptions, and educating patients. Chandler made health impact videos for simple yet vital tasks needed for the public.
MDF Donated stethoscopes and sphygmomanometers for both pediatric and adult patients to help widen their outreach. Chandler shared a moving patient experience with us, it is evident she is inspired everyday .
"Something that stuck with me after my time in Costa Rica was the use of mental health resources for patients of all ages. I remember a little child coming in that had terrible anxiety and behavioral issues. FIMRC made me realize that mental health diseases also require preventive health. With their psychology program, FIMRC is helping so many children learn to cope with anxiety, stress, and change in healthy ways. This child is better off because of the resources and programs provided by FIMRC and I know he is safer with FIMRC by his side." - Chandler Rosemont

Be Like Brit
In many ways she was a typical teenage girl but her humor, passion and deep sense of caring for those less fortunate made Britney Gengel memorable to all who met her. It was her compassion for others that brought Brit to Haiti, just a day before a catastrophic earthquake that claimed an estimated 230,000 lives rocked the small, poverty stricken country.

Barnhem Muang Mai Mission
Barnhem opened in February 2005 and initially focused on helping tsunami victims. All of those have been able to move out and today Barnhem is not disaster victim oriented – many people in Thailand were already poor and exposed before the flood waves. Today Barnhem houses children for many different reasons. Many have lost one or both, of their parents; others are here because they lack a family member or relative to care for them - or their relatives lack the strength to do so.
