The Urban Health Institute (UHI) is a 501 (c)
(3) non-profit organization founded
to provide direct care, medicine and medical
equipment in response to natural and man-made disasters.

The organization enlists pro-bono participation from local health care professionals to provide public health education and information about the availability of health-related and specialty care resources within disadvantaged communities around the globe.


Specifically, we:

  • Host health education seminars
  • Participate in quarterly health fairs
  • Purchase medical supplies for underserved communities locally and globally
  • Secure medicines for communities in need
  • Perform complete medical exams, distribute medication and educate the public regarding prevailing health care issues that are region specific


Some of our successes include:

  • Encouraging youth to stay healthy through activities and exercising
  • Medical missions to Nigeria and Belize to provide medical supplies, medicines and health exams to local villages
  • UHI doctors traveled to the Astrodome in Houston, TX to administer medical attention to New Orleans residents evacuated from Hurricane Katrina
  • UHI medical professionals traveled to Ko Phi Phi, Thailand to provide health services to the people in the wake of the tsunami
