ADI International places issues concerning the improvement
of global healthcare and conservation of the environment as a high priority.
We call this ADI International’s “Heal the World” campaign.
Throughout the years our company has generously donated funds to serve
humanity and the environment at times of greatest need. At ADI International
we are committed to playing our part as a citizen of the world. Below
are some of the projects and grants awarded by ADI International as part
of our Heal the World Campaign.
Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) ranks as a world-class leader
of both quality healthcare delivery and healthcare research. It serves
hundreds of thousands of patients each year and provides training for
many of the world’s best physicians. In 2003 ADI International
arranged a significant financial contribution to DUMC to help improve
healthcare delivery to underserved Americans.
The Pakistan Earthquake of 2005 was a major earthquake which had devastating
consequences on the country and its neighbors in October 2005. The earthquake
registered a minimum magnitude of 7.6 and resulted in the death of over
70,000 helpless victims. In November of that same year, ADI International
executives mobilized a fund- raising campaign which helped provide temporary
shelter and living necessities to earthquake victims and help restore
viability back to the devastated land.
The current Diabetes and Obesity Epidemic affects
over one billion people worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO)
has warned that the current obesity epidemic has replaced traditional
conditions like poverty and famine in threatening the lives of the world’s
population. The US National Institute of Health has funded research
which has clearly shown that low-income minority groups are at greatest
risk of harm due to their lack of access to healthcare and the high
cost of quality food. In 2006 ADI International provided an unrestricted
educational grant to a Florida-based bariatric medical center to provide
free treatment of diabetes and obesity to low-income minorities including
Native Indians, Hispanics, and African Americans.
