PREVENTIVE & ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE RESEARCH CENTER

Preventive & Alternative Medicine Research Center (PMRC) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in Texas in 2008 that conducts research, education and community health screening focused on chronic disease prevention (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions, disability and related areas). The organization lists a board composed primarily of MDs, DOs and a CPA and describes work in preventive medicine, orthopedic/spine research, disability, health education and biomedical devices. PMRC maintains an active web presence and files IRS Form 990-EZ returns; recent filings (2022–2024) show the organization operating with donor-funded budgets in the tens of thousands to low hundreds of thousands of dollars and holding nontrivial net assets. The center describes collaboration with institutions and positions its activities around research, education and community screening rather than large direct-service programs. The charity accepts tax-deductible donations and presents itself as an operating, donor-facing research and education nonprofit focused on prevention and screening rather than a grantmaking foundation or an inactive entity.
