The University of Michigan’s Health Engineered for All Lives, or M-HEAL, is a student group that began in the fall of 2006.  The group formed when a number of graduate and undergraduate engineering students came together with a shared concern for global health disparities.  Motivated by this concern and eager to make use of the members’ engineering educations, M-HEAL developed a mission of addressing the unmet medical technology needs of developing nations.  Today the group has grown to over 20 dedicated members who work to repair, design, and build medical equipment for needy medical facilities around the world.
