60 years MCD Global Health logo

In 2026, MCD Global Health proudly celebrates a milestone that few organizations reach: 60 years of global impact, local partnership, and steady commitment to improving health and well-being around the world. From our founding in 1966 to today, MCD has grown, adapted, and innovated, always being guided by a clear mission and the belief that healthier communities create stronger futures.

Six Decades of Impact

As MCD enters its diamond anniversary year, we reflect on six decades of learning, growth, and meaningful change. Our history stretches across continents and communities, fueled by people who have devoted their expertise, creativity, and passion to improving public health.

Throughout 2026, we will highlight stories that showcase how our founding mission still remains relevant. These stories will appear on a dedicated 60th anniversary webpage, where staff, partners, and alumni can revisit our shared history and see how our longstanding commitments continue to shape today’s impacts.

An Invitation to Celebrate with Us

True to MCD’s collaborative culture, the 60th anniversary is designed to be a shared celebration. Both past and present staff, partners, board members, and community members who have worked with MCD are all invited to share their stories.

Everyone is encouraged to join the conversation, submit stories, and share reflections. Whether you are new to MCD or have shaped the organization across decades, your voice is central to the story of who we are and the impact we make together.
