That led Jackson to discover that its biggest hurdle was not finding enough medical specialists willing to volunteer. The problem was finding enough opportunities to meet the volunteer demand.

In an effort to solve this problem, Jackson Healthcare Charities financially backed and launched MedicalMissions.org, in partnership with Jackson & Coker, LocumTenens.com, Travel Nurse Solutions and Jackson Therapy Partners. With hundreds of medical professionals interested in volunteer opportunities abroad, their goal is to get the word out to organizations seeking these types of volunteers.

"We want organizations who seek health-related volunteers for short and long term opportunities to leverage this new web tool to their advantage," says Jackson. "There's no cost for them to use this site, except their time. Our goal is to be a catalyst for serving the underserved around the globe."

He added, "We also want medical professionals with a passion for overseas mission work to post their professional profiles so that these organizations can connect with them."

Jackson says he was "warmed" by the enthusiasm and support physicians showed in wanting to give back in service to those less fortunate. "It proves that, despite the challenges with the U.S. health system, we're blessed with many medical professionals who are in this industry to truly care for others."

ABOUT JACKSON HEALTHCARE - Founded by healthcare pioneer Richard L. Jackson, Jackson Healthcare addresses the two biggest challenges facing healthcare today: finding the right people and delivering the right information at the right time.
