About The SIMPCO Foundation

The SIMPCO Foundation is a nonprofit organization advancing health equity, economic empowerment, and sustainable development within disadvantaged communities worldwide. We emphasize culturally sensitive health self-empowerment: we build institutions and capacity within our partner nations for themselves, not just a presence. Nothing about them without them.

Our Founder

Jeffrey E. Sterling, MD, MPH — physician, public health leader, and founder of the Sterling Initiatives family of organizations. Dr. Sterling has dedicated his career to expanding access to quality care and to building community-owned health and economic institutions in the United States and around the world.

Our Approach: Nothing About You, Without You

Every SIMPCO Foundation program is designed and delivered with local partners. We train local providers, transfer knowledge and equipment, and build infrastructure — so that every mission leaves behind capability, confidence, and community resilience, not dependency.

The Sterling Initiatives Family

The SIMPCO Foundation is the nonprofit arm of the Sterling Initiatives family of organizations, which includes the SIMPCO Solution and Jeffrey Sterling, MD consultancies.
