Since 1978, we have worked towards greater health in rural communities all over the world.

We are committed to complementing local priorities towards influencing systemic change for the better.

Opportunities in college began a lifelong love of travel, culture and people for Todd and Sue Price. Todd was part of a humanitarian effort across the Philippine Archipelago in the summer of 1978 where he assisted healthcare providers in a refugee camp, taught first aid and participated in school programs within the Tondo slum of Manila. It was then that he realized the absence of medications and medical expertise needed to care for even the most treatable conditions.

Sue spent the summer of 1979 in India. As part of a small group of nursing and medical students, she assisted a medical doctor in clinics during the day and during the evening and weekends, conducted services and assisted with the activities of daily living at the orphanage where she and the group stayed.

Seeds were planted that would grow into a passion to go to remote parts of the world to share their knowledge, resources and expertise. Sue received her BSN in Nursing from Oral Roberts University and spent her career working in critical care units. Todd graduated from Oral Roberts University School of Medicine, completed an Internal Medicine residency at UCLA and a fellowship in Infectious Disease at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He is now board-certified in Infectious Disease.

As he rounded in the hospital one day in 1993, Todd heard that all the hospital beds were being replaced. When he inquired about them, he was told he could have them if he picked them up by the end of the day. Todd had a patient who owned a moving and storage company and arranged to have the beds picked up that afternoon! This began a practice of receiving and placing nearly $1billion USD worth of medication and medical supplies to local health partners in 37 countries while providing over 50 million doses of anthelmintic medication to children across the developing world.

International Medical Outreach was founded in 1993 with the purpose to provide, improve and facilitate medical care to people who are missed in conventional humanitarian efforts. Several years ago, our focus shifted. Those large donations were replaced with an active, personal participation in on-going projects that are unique to each community. Todd and Sue spend time each year visiting communities where their projects are active—developing relationships, evaluating progress, making adjustments, providing medical care and initiating new projects—while back in Houston they are in constant communication with their teams in the field. We are always seeking to expand our borders as we look for opportunities to prevent illness, improve the standard of medical care, supplement available resources, educate, and introduce sustainable ways to improve health and well being.
