President & Founder
CurrentSea Mercy (seamercy.org) is a non-profit 501(c)3 that brings free health care and disaster relief services to remote islanders in the South Pacific via a fleet of Floating Health Care Clinics (large sailing catamarans). "If all the medical discoveries, technologies, teachings and staff training remains unavailable to 30-40% of a targeted community, can we really call it a success?" In the USA, Australia and New Zealand, we are blessed with the medical infrastructure and staff that is available to the majority of our population, but in the South Pacific, there are no roads, power lines, or phone systems to connect the smaller, less populated, islands to the same health care services offered on the more populated, primary islands. Sadly, these remote islands are left without even the most basic of health care services, creating an incredible disparity between the remote islands and the primary islands in terms of overall health, infant mortality and immunization rates, and longevity. Sea Mercy (seamercy.org) is a US based 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a simple vision and mission to "stand in the gap" with a service delivery vessel, trained health volunteers, support equipment, and critical care services as island nations develop their "outer island" health care infrastructure. Sea Mercy provides free Floating Health Care Clinics (FHCC), that also serve as training and educational platforms and as disaster response vessels for these neglected remote island citizens of the South Pacific. Operating from a fleet of large sailing catamarans, Sea Mercy strives to deliver free health services to these neglected remote communities.The South Pacific Needs Your Help!If you are a health care professional (medical, dental or ophthalmology) who loves adventure and serving those in need, we hope you consider volunteering with us as we deliver health care services to the remote islands in the South Pacific. It is the best "working vacation" you will ever experience.
