Global Response Medicine

What Global Response Medicine does

Global Response Medicine (GRM) is a 501(c)(3) humanitarian medical organization founded in 2017 by veterans Pete Reed and Derek Coleman during the Battle of Mosul in Iraq. The organization delivers emergency medical care, field trauma stabilization, mobile clinic operations, telehealth-enabled specialty referrals, and longer-term capacity-building programs to populations displaced by conflict, war, and disaster. Its core offerings include rapid deployment of volunteer medical teams, field stabilization points anchored to a trauma referral network, a proprietary 12-month hybrid emergency medicine training curriculum, and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training scaled across hospitals in Iraq. Operations are active across 15+ countries, including Ukraine (22 locations, ongoing since 2022), Iraq (15 locations, ongoing since 2017), and Mexico border cities such as Reynosa (9 locations, 3 years).

GRM's documented methodology produced a 94% survival rate from stabilization to hospital care during Mosul operations (2017-2018), treating more than 10,000 patients across a referral network covering nearly 100 square miles. Mobile clinic operations in Reynosa, Mexico have served more than 15,000 asylum seekers with primary care, women's health, OB care, COVID testing, medication distribution, and specialty referrals. Major institutional collaborations include the United Nations Development Programme and Levine Cancer Center (Mosul Oncology Center), Massachusetts General Hospital, Temple University, MedGlobal, and Home Base (joint 'Invisible Wounds of Ukraine' program announced March 2025).

GRM operates as a non-profit funded entirely by individual donations, foundation and trust grants, corporate contributions, international agency partnerships, and to a lesser extent US government resources. Donor acquisition runs through content marketing (blog, peer-reviewed publications), earned media, newsletters, and social channels. No revenue, headcount, or program budgets are publicly disclosed; the organization is registered in Florida (Tax ID 81-5163032, Charitable Registration CH59484) and headquartered in Marco Island.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders): The largest independent humanitarian medical organization, deploying medical teams to conflict zones and disaster areas worldwide. Directly comparable to GRM in mission, operating model (field stabilization, mobile clinics, capacity building), and target populations.
• International Medical Corps: Global humanitarian organization delivering emergency medical services and healthcare training in conflict and disaster settings. Closely aligned with GRM in combining acute response with longer-term capacity building for local health systems.
• MedGlobal: Humanitarian medical organization that deploys volunteer healthcare professionals to crisis-affected regions and partners with local providers. Already a GRM partner and operates a near-identical emergency-response-plus-capacity-building model.
• Partners In Health: Global health organization providing direct care and training in resource-limited settings, with strong emphasis on capacity building. Comparable to GRM's Iraq capacity-building model and its commitment to long-term local health-system strengthening.
• Direct Relief: Humanitarian medical aid organization delivering emergency medical supplies and care in disaster and conflict settings. Comparable in donor-funded model and focus on delivering medical resources to under-resourced health systems globally.

Broad incumbents

• International Rescue Committee: Major humanitarian NGO providing emergency relief, healthcare, and long-term recovery in conflict-affected countries. Comparable as a peer humanitarian health provider but with a much broader multi-sector mandate beyond medical care.
• International Committee of the Red Cross: The largest neutral humanitarian organization, operating field hospitals and surgical teams in active conflict zones. Comparable mission and operating environments to GRM, but at far greater scale and with formal neutrality mandates.
• Americares: Health-focused humanitarian organization providing emergency medical aid, medicines, and long-term health programs globally. Comparable in mission and donor-supported nonprofit model, with a broader medicines-and-supplies angle alongside direct care.
• Mercy Corps: Global humanitarian organization with significant health programming in conflict-affected and disaster-affected countries. Overlaps with GRM in target geographies and crisis-response model, but operates multi-sector programs beyond health.

Emerging players

• Build Health International: Nonprofit that builds and equips healthcare facilities in resource-limited settings globally. Comparable to GRM's longer-term infrastructure work such as the Mosul Oncology Center, though focused on facility construction rather than direct medical response.
