Trinity Health International (THI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity Health, began as a part-time program in 1981 in response to requests for assistance from hospitals and ministries of health around the world. As a result of the growing volume of requests, THI became incorporated as a Michigan nonprofit organization in 1985.

Since then, THI has grown steadily, employing corporate staff, overseas staff, and short-term consultants to fulfill its mission. The organization accesses Trinity Health resources and personnel for both short- and long-term assignments.

THI provides expert staff to help healthcare personnel improve their clinical, technical and managerial skills. Training is custom-designed to meet the objectives of the client. It is typically carried out in the host country to ensure its immediate usefulness in the local healthcare setting, but may also be carried out at a Trinity Health facility.

In either situation, THI is able to select from a pool of over 40,000 Trinity Health employees and over 7,000 affiliated physicians for trainers and presenters. This allows us to identify the most appropriate staff member to conduct the training.
