About GLOBAL MICRO CLINIC PROJECT

The Global Micro Clinic Project (operating as Microclinic International) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) public charity headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area that uses a community social‑network model to prevent and manage chronic and infectious diseases. Its Microclinic model organizes small groups of family members and friends to deliver peer support, education, and low‑cost interventions to change behavior and improve health outcomes. The organization was founded in the mid-2000s and files annual Form 990s in the U.S.; the EIN 20-4915317 corresponds to filings under the Global Micro Clinic Project / Microclinic International name. In recent years the organization has maintained small U.S. staffing while supporting partner-led implementation, research, and scale-up projects internationally.
