Doc to Dock information

Doc to Dock is a Brooklyn, New York-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that sends donated medical supplies and equipment to hospitals and clinics in Africa and Haiti. It was founded in 2005 by cardiologist and medical professor Bruce Charash.^[1]

Thousands of tons of medical supplies are discarded in the United States every day.^[2] This occurs largely because U.S. government regulations force hospitals to discard any unused medical supplies in an opened outer package, even if the remaining items are individually wrapped and sterile.^[3] These supplies are either incinerated or deposited in landfills.^[4] Meanwhile, in developing nations, thousands of patients are turned away from hospitals and medical centers due to a lack of supplies.^[5] Charash created Doc to Dock to rectify this imbalance. The organization also benefits the U.S. environment by reducing the strain on landfills.
