Partners
Core to our mission is collaboration and supporting the good work of others. We believe we all do more together than we ever could alone!
Partner with us!
We build tools and resources that are meant for EVERYONE. Increasing our impact means helping to increase the impact of others doing good in the world. We are here to help, and can provide support on the specific how-to’s of easily using these tools, and examples of how others have successfully used these resources in their communities.
Our tools are open access, so YES you can use them in your organization or institution. We only ask that content not be altered or changed so we can ensure they meet our rigorous quality and scientific standards. Are you concerned that something out our resources doesn’t match up with what is possible or available in your organization? Reach out! We can discuss creating a customized version for you like we have done many times before.
Interested in partnering with us? Contact us at info@megfoundationforpain.org.
Interested in translated content? We can do that!
As part of our commitment to healthcare equity and access, we want to make our tools available for EVERYONE. We want our resources in as many languages as possible, so please make a request if it would be useful to your patient population.
We prefer to have medical providers do our translation work to ensure that we are preserving the intent of the language (rather than straight translation of the words) and so we can get feedback on any cultural difference issues that may be present. If you are interested, please reach out to ellie.richardson@megfoundationforpain.org.
We Can Do This Campaign
We Can Do This is a COVID-19 public education campaign organized by the U.S Department of Health and Human Services as a national initiative to increase public confidence in and uptake of COVID-19 vaccines while reinforcing basic prevention measures such as mask wearing and social distancing. Through a nationwide network of trusted messengers and consistent, fact-based public health messaging, the campaign helps the public make informed decisions about their health and COVID-19, including steps to protect themselves and their communities. The effort is driven by communication science and provides tailored information for at-risk groups.

For Public Health and Health Care Organizations
We get asked ALL the time if health care providers are allowed to use our resources, and the answer is YES! The ability to support health care providers and improve patient care is why we exist! We not only have the tools, but have created resources on how they can be incorporated in your setting. Questions? Reach out! We are here to help!

We are ever growing, ever expanding, and want to get better at meeting the needs of various communities.
