MODO For The People: Bridging the Medical Gap:

Founded on the belief that everyone should have access to competent medical care, regardless of income, MODO For The People, an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was established on April 22, 2022, with a dedicated mission: to bring free or low-cost medical care to the underserved population on Maui. Rooted in this vision, our initiative "MODO Mondays - Medicine to the People" was conceived. Our mobile urgent care units venture into underserved neighborhoods, offering quality medical aid and prescription medications at no cost, in an attempt to alleviate the strain on our healthcare infrastructure. Yet, today, our mission has broadened in the face of an immediate crisis.

Our Immediate Response to the Maui Fires:

With the recent Lahaina wildfires causing devastation across Maui, our Disaster Relief Medical Team, consisting of Board-certified physicians, physician assistants, nurses, and passionate volunteers, has been activated. MODO For The People, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has stepped forward with an unwavering commitment: to extend no-cost medical aid to everyone impacted by this catastrophe.

Clarifying Our Affiliation with MODO Mobile Doctor or MODO MD:

We understand that there are concerns about our affiliation with MODO MD, a for-profit entity, Transparency is vital. It is crucial to note:

MODO For The People and MODO MD are two distinct entities with separate financial operations.
Thus far, all medical supplies, medical personnel, and medical units provided for this disaster relief have been generously contributed by MODO MD.
Every dollar raised through this campaign goes directly to relief efforts and is not for profit. We're committed to absolute transparency.

Our Current Relief Operations:

Free Medical Care: Led by Dr. Reza Danesh “Dr. Rez” our team provides treatments for burns, smoke inhalation, trauma, injuries, and any other acute or chronic medical issue.
MODO MD has generously offered the use of their location at MODO Urgent Care Medical Concierge Wellness Center in Wailea for walk-in medical visits 8 AM to 10 PM, 7 days a week including all major holidays.
Telemedicine services to triage patients, answer questions, order medications, lab, and x -rays.
Private house calls can be also scheduled for people in need upon staff availability.
Shelter Support: We're actively involved in shelters, addressing immediate medical needs and supporting those who've lost their homes.
Presence in Lahaina: Since day one we have been present ensuring that help is on hand for the survivors dealing with the aftermath. Our team is working to coordinate pick-ups, drop-offs, and distribution of supplies. In addition, we are providing medical care and essential prescription medications to those in need.
Supply Distribution: From water and food to clothing and essentials, our commitment is to ensure families get back on their feet.
