Programs
Through a broad range of health, social, education, violence prevention and youth development programs, INMED is helping to create opportunities that inspire hope, build self-reliance and encourage community collaboration to sustain positive change.
INMED develops its programs within four priority areas:
Maternal and Child Health
Intensive, family-focused programs prepare parents to give their children the healthiest possible start in 
life so that they develop optimally and enter school ready to learn and succeed.
Disease Prevention, Control and Management
Children are at the center of an action-oriented educational process that cultivates the tremendous potential they hold as catalysts for positive change in health behaviors.
Childhood and Community Education and Skills Building
Participatory programs lay the foundation for lifelong learning and economic productivity by strengthening academic, vocational, leadership and life skills.
Partnership Development
INMED builds partnerships that create a strong foundation for children’s health and education, inspire communities to invest in children’s futures, and create new opportunities for children to maximize their potential and achieve lifelong success.
