Half the World
Lacks Access.
We Build What Lasts.
Telehealth infrastructure. Workforce pipelines. Health ventures. Community medicine. IHA builds permanent health systems — from Brooklyn to Nairobi — designed to function independently long after we leave.
Programs End.
Systems Don't.
Half the world lacks access to essential health services. The crisis isn't a shortage of innovation — it's a shortage of systems that last. Programs arrive, serve, and leave. Grant cycles end. Delegations go home. The communities that needed help are back where they started.
IHA exists to build something different: health infrastructure that is permanent, self-sustaining, and designed to function independently. We train the workforce. Deploy the technology. Build the commercial engines that fund the mission. Deliver care in the communities that need it most.
“We were not founded to run programs. We were founded to build systems that outlast us.”Lorenzo Daughtry-Chambers · Founder & CEO
IHA's health work spans four pillars — each designed to function independently and compound together:
Telehealth & Digital HealthHealthcare Workforce DevelopmentHealth Entrepreneurship & InnovationCommunity Medicine & Global DeploymentDr. Michele Y. Griffith, MD
Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Griffith leads IHA's entire health operation. An All Ivy League-trained, board-certified physician in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine specializing in primary care, with 35 years of clinical experience and 18+ years deploying telemedicine in low- and middle-income countries, with recognized engagement at the World Health Organization level.
She sets clinical strategy, builds the global specialist network, and oversees every health initiative IHA undertakes — from workforce programs to international deployments.
“We see her as a long-term resource to the HealthTech ecosystem — not just a visiting physician.”
Four Pillars of
Permanent Health Infrastructure
Workforce programs train the people. Telehealth deploys the systems. Entrepreneurship funds the mission. Community medicine delivers the care.
Telehealth & Digital Health
We build remote consultation pathways, connect hospitals to global specialist networks, and deploy hub-and-spoke telemedicine systems. Our tele-mentoring model creates relationships that outlast any single visit.
Healthcare Workforce Development
In partnership with Uplift Communities, IHA supports government-contracted programs that train and place underserved community members into high-demand healthcare careers. Paid training. Small cohorts. Real placement. This is economic infrastructure — not job training.
Health Entrepreneurship & Innovation
AI-powered wellness platform making holistic health accessible at community scale. Revenue generated flows directly back into health programming.
10% of all platform revenue flows directly back into community health programming. The mission funds itself.
Impact investment in health ventures and infrastructure in underserved and emerging markets.
Systems research informing policy, workforce analysis, and delivery models.

Direct-service medical camps, patient education, and on-the-ground care. We deploy clinicians, train local health workers, and build the community trust that makes everything else possible. Every deployment is documented for replication.
Proof, Not Promises
Kenya is where all four pillars converge.
Kenya 2026
Global Impact Delegation
IHA's inaugural international deployment. 14 days. 3 cities. Clinician training, community health worker development, medical camps, and telehealth infrastructure — deployed in direct partnership with Kenya's national health agenda. The training is the intervention. Everything else supports it.
Aligned with Kenya's National Health Agenda
Kakamega is Kenya's National Telehealth Pilot Site for Cancer. KNH's Afya Apex system is expanding to both Kakamega and Mombasa. IHA arrives as a co-implementation partner, not a visitor.
The Perpetual Engine
Most health nonprofits are structurally dependent on grants. IHA is building something different: commercial health products that fund community health programs permanently.
Platform revenue, government contracts, and impact investment create multiple sustainable revenue streams. This is not a grant cycle. It's infrastructure designed to fund the mission in perpetuity.
Built on Relationships That Already Exist
Every Deployment
Compounds the Next
Kenya 2026 is the inaugural deployment. Brooklyn is the domestic proof. What works in each place becomes the template for the next.
We are committed for the long term — as an institution, not a project. The delegation is 14 days. The partnership is designed to last decades.
Replicable by Design
Every system documented. Kenya proves the international model. Brooklyn proves the domestic model. Both scale.
CMO-Led Strategy
Dr. Griffith's role extends beyond any single deployment — she leads IHA's long-term clinical strategy and global network.
Multiple Revenue Streams
Platform revenue, government contracts, and impact investment. Not grant dependency.
Continental Expansion
Kenya → East Africa → the continent. Brooklyn → other U.S. cities. The model grows.
