Scott Mitchell II M.D.
​- Executive Director

I am extremely honored and blessed to have the opportunity to start and lead Stand With Me. SWM helps my friends and patients across the globe get the medical care that they desperately need in their own living rooms! I’m currently a neurosurgery resident physician at Indiana University in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. I received my medical degree in 2020 from the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine. My undergraduate degrees are in biochemistry from Bowdoin College in 2015, and biomedical engineering from Dartmouth College in 2016. I am originally from Bangor, Maine and I attended high school at the Kent School in Kent, Connecticut, where I founded a chapter of a Christian group called Fellowship of Christians in Universities and Schools.

The unexpected passing of my sister during my high school years gave me the opportunity to rely on my faith and begin a more personally motivated relationship with God. During this time, I continued to pursue my interest in medicine with a Christian ministry called Medical Ministry International (MMI). Through MMI, I served as an interpreter for medical teams in Peru, Ecuador and Dominican republic. In the summer of 2013, I did a three month internship with MMI in Arequipa, Peru which is where I was first introduced to physical therapy and standing frames and noticed how even simple medical devices were life changing and widely unavailable in the developing world. My extensive involvement with MMI demonstrated to me that humanitarian service is most effective when combined with Christian ministry. This combination serves both the physical and spiritual needs of patients, while providing volunteers a unique opportunity to exercise their God-given talents and cultivate a Christlike heart.
​

I would like to personally invite you to join or support this project anyway that you can and Stand With Me.

Robert Mitchell- Director of Development

I am pleased to be joining my grandson in this endeavor to assist young children with cerebral palsy though these low cost standers that enable them to have  a better chance at normal growth and development. I have a Chemical Engineering degree from Drexel Institute of Technology and had a 30 year career as a senior manufacturing officer executive. I then moved to Unysis Corp as a manufacturing consultant. In this capacity, I had the opportunity to study over 30 companies and was able to recommend how each might benefit profitably from the use of advanced management computer tools. I have traveled the world with my wife Alma, and have seen examples of extreme poverty. Helping Stand With Me provide these standers worldwide to children in need is a privilege I cherish!
