What is Children's Medical Ministries?

Children's Medical Ministries (CMM) is a compassionate humanitarian service organization that has over 700 volunteer health care professionals committed to serving the indigent and oppressed children and their families in the National Capital/Baltimore areas, seven states, and in 30 overseas countries. We provide food, shelter, clothes, medicine, wheelchairs, and prosthesis and healthcare programs.

CMM was founded by Bill and Erma Collins in 1988, as a nonprofit, nondenominational, all volunteer ministry predicated on the following concepts:

The essence of compassion is helping others become self-reliant.
When God opens a door, go through it.
Every child has a right to know they are loved.
It shouldn’t hurt to be a child.
Planning and programs are in pursuit of restoring human dignity for the disabled.
