Medical Mission for Children Reaches Out Throughout the Globe



Connie Milstein is a Trustee for the innovative organization Medical Missions for Children. Headquartered in St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital in Paterson, New Jersey, MMC reaches out to over 100 countries globally to make available the most up-to-the-minute treatments, practices and knowledge to wherever that information is needed.

Medical outreach, or distance medicine is facilitated through several of MMC’s programs, including Telemedicine Outreach Program, Medical Broadcasting Channel, Global Video Library of Medicine, and Giggles Children’s Theater. MMC also sponsors four different television programs geared to the general public. The four programs include Plain Talk, Tomorrow’s Medicine Today, Take Care and Encore Lifestyles.

Each of these initiatives and programs are designed to educate viewers, physicians, investigators, and health care workers of all types to stay abreast of the latest information that could help them improve the lives of millions of people, including saving lives across the world.
