To
educate community health-care volunteers and residents with
advancements in medicines, nutrition and hygiene, and lifesaving

CMM HISTORY:
Before 1983, the year PAANC was incorporated, the Philippine Health
Aid group formed and was in operation. This group of concerned
North Carolina based Filipino-Americans were dedicated to providing
an outreach to community-based health centers in the Philippines.
This group became the Carolina Medical Mission (CMM) in 1994 under
PAANC. Thanks to the commitment and involvement of many volunteers,
CMM continues to provide quality health-related services to the
people of rural Philippines. CMM aims to have their services available
to other developing countries in the near future.
