Our Goals

The Global Health Shift organization got started following Dr. Daniel Gordani’s appearance on the Scrubs rewatch podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends where hosts Zach Braff and Donald Faison helped share his vision of a universal primary care organization with their audience. Following his guest appearance, Daniel got many emails from listeners who loved his idea and contacted him to participate in his non-profit organization. After an interview process with the many applicants, the board of directors was formed.

The board is comprised of young people from all around the world who share a love for the TV show Scrubs and will often quote from the show and the podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends but most importantly they share the same vision: changing the world, by offering primary healthcare in developing countries and regions with like-minded volunteers.

With Your Help, We are Making The World a Better Place

Building sustainable healthcare facilities, in collaboration with volunteers, we will provide primary healthcare around the world.

Our mission is to bring like-minded people together who are looking to make primary healthcare available to people in need around the world. We will do this through disease prevention, health promotion, and illness management. Working in partnerships with universities and local communities, we rely on volunteers and students to staff the facilities. We offer students the opportunity to put their medical skills to use thus adding to their education.

We will offset costs through donations, state funding, and collaborations with medical suppliers. Building long-term, environmentally conscious, and sustainable facilities, our goal is to be a permanent fixture that provides long-term stability through healthcare for all.

How We Work

The Global Health Shift organization is composed of a passionate, young board that has one common vision: changing the world, by offering primary healthcare in countries and regions of need with like-minded volunteers.

Primary healthcare, as it is available in many developed countries should not be exclusive to these regions. Our belief is that we can and should offer this level of healthcare globally with the help of medical and nursing students and other volunteers to set up long-term facilities in developing regions around the world.
