A 5-ton shipment of critically needed medicines and medical supplies left the Americares Global Distribution Center this week, bound for #Gaza to support people affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The shipment contains chronic disease medications, IV solutions, prenatal vitamins, hygiene kits, menstrual health kits, personal protective equipment and other essential medical supplies. Working in partnership with All Hands & Hearts, these supplies will help health care providers treat patients and meet the most pressing health needs on the ground. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues, and Americares remains committed to helping survivors access the care they need during this time. #Americares

Americares is responding to the 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck western Colombia, one of the most powerful earthquakes to hit the country in decades. Americares Colombia team members in Bogotá and Barranquilla immediately mobilized, connecting with local officials and health care organizations in the hardest-hit communities. Our team has arrived in #Cali, one of the hardest-hit cities, to assess urgent health needs and determine how Americares can best support survivors. Americares is prepared to provide medicines, medical supplies and emergency funding to help communities recover and restore essential health services. This is the latest in a series of devastating earthquakes affecting the region.

Local clinic staff make sustainable health care possible in communities around the world. They know their communities and patients better than anyone else. That’s why we work to support them with the resources and knowledge they need to make health happen. Dr. Richard Sacra, an #Americares Medical Outreach Partner, shares how every visit to #Liberia builds upon the last. With medicines donated by Americares and Dr. Sacra’s ongoing mentorship and training, local health workers gain new clinical skills, strengthen their ability to care for their communities and build lasting capacity that improves patient care long after each medical outreach ends. Through long-term partnerships and ongoing mentorship, Americares helps build stronger, more resilient local health systems—because the greatest impact comes from empowering the people who provide care every day.

Approximately 65,000 people have been displaced by the Pacific Northwest wildfires, leaving communities to contend with damaged homes and infrastructure, disrupted utilities and dangerous smoke that continues to impact air quality. #Americares is on the ground working to assess the most urgent health needs.

Every day, we see firsthand how health centers meet people where they are, delivering high-quality care and connecting patients with the resources they need to thrive. That's why Americares is proud to partner with community health centers across the country to bring health and dignity to those in need. This #NationalHealthCenterWeek, we're celebrating the community health centers leading this way – like Mountain Community Health Partnership in North Carolina. Since 1947, MCHP has provided trusted, comprehensive care to rural communities where access to health services has long been limited. Today, MCHP serves more than 10,000 patients each year through four medical clinics and a dental center, ensuring everyone can access care regardless of their ability to pay. When #HurricaneHelene destroyed MCHP's behavioral health facility, #Americares was there to support emergency recovery. As the community continues to rebuild, we're proud to stand alongside MCHP with ongoing support for long-term recovery, behavioral health services and the dedicated staff caring for their neighbors. Together, we're helping build healthier communities, one partnership at a time. #NHCW26
