The Diversity Entrepreneurs Partnership Initiative (D.E.P.I.) is a program developed by Medical Allies Worlds Lifeline Foundation Inc (MAW), a nonprofit established to foster collaborative partnerships between health & wellness professionals and business operators in the interest of the public good. The D.E.P.I. program aims to cultivate diversity in the healthcare industry with special attention given to industry supply chain operations, and supply chain management.

To achieve this mission, D.E.P.I. has identified four main objectives including:

• Development of a Healthcare & Business Directory.
• Utilization of the directory to establish beneficial partnerships.
• Promotion of trainings and workshops to support professional advancement in the industry.
• Implementation of community outreach initiatives.

The Healthcare & Business Directory will include all of North America and the continental Africa. Healthcare professionals will refer to the directory for partnerships, as well as brand promotion and networking opportunities. The collaborative efforts of industry manufacturers inside and outside the United States can have a significant impact on advancements in healthcare. These partnerships will also encourage the recruitment of global suppliers, regional distributors, logistic service partners, and healthcare market professionals.

Through our strategic community outreach, we will identify professionals interested in joining the industry, including those looking to open a business. Our community outreach will include digital marketing and industry networking events that will be both virtual and in-person to provide access to our global network and accommodate attendees who live outside the United States because now is the time for D.E.P.I.
