The Trump Administration’s rapid moves to impose fiscal restraint on the sprawling federal bureaucracy will hit at least one governmental organization in Maine: Medical Care Development, a 501(c)3 group that pulled in $37 million in 2023.
Medical Care Development, which operates as “MCD Global Health,” is a Hallowell-based nonprofit that claims to employee 195 people, according to its 2023 Form 990 tax filing.
According to tax documents, MCD Global Health worked on USAID-funded malaria control programs in Mozambique, Niger, and Uganda under USAID agreements, as well as cervical cancer screening in Equatorial Guinea, funded by a corporate donor.
MCD also operated a separate USAID-funded program for maternal and child mental health in Benin.
Additionally, the organizations work on HIV/AIDS programs for military personnel in Gabon and São Tomé and Príncipe, programs funded by the U.S. Department of Defense under the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The organization’s CEO, Christopher Schwabe, earned $346,691 plus an additional $80,302 in benefits in 2023.
Heather Metten, the director of finance, earned $160,134 plus $65,778 in benefits, while
Director of International Programs Josea Ratsirarson earned $188,441 plus $67,790 in benefits.
According to the tax documents, MCD partnered with several vendors for lucrative poblic health contracts, including Family Health International (USA) ($536,366), Swiss Tropical & Public Health Institute ($291,257), and University System of New Hampshire ($206,829).
The nonprofit also received a Payroll Protection Program (PPP) loan for $1,102,863, which allowed it to save just 70 jobs, rather than 195 employees it reported in its 2023 tax filing.

Maine Wire on Fire!
USAID = USCIA, just a slush fund for the left and the socialist new world order!
why was this even allowed? I want to stop paying for NPR too.
This is what we meant all those years when we said “ The Deep State “ .
The democrats screamed “ Conspiracy Theories “
These thieves and liars are being exposed and they don’t like it .
See how they run . See how they run .
First MCD Global Health and then Catholic Charities.
Nice reporting Steve. I’m just discovering MaineWire and I like what I’m reading. What a refreshing change from the MSM garbage. Good riddance to this NGO and it’s overpaid administration.
Maine wire to the rescue. Share with your friends and family. Please ask them to share. Knowledge is power. I retired to my ski house and while riding the chair 2 days ago I recited about 20 of the hoaxes perpetrated by the lying left liberal media. I also scathingly added that this scandal will hopefully put those rags permanently out of business. I also said perhaps the Epstein client lust will be revealed next and put an end to child sex trafficking. My captive audience grew silent after challenging me. Ha, take that left*ards!
I just started 3 weeks ago this web income system that my friend recommended to me and I’ve gotten 2 checks for a total of $9,200… this is the best decision I made in a long time! This extra cash has changed my life in so many ways, v33 thank you!
Here is I started_______ tinyurl.com/homestar2?/53
This is what Communist Democrat electing lemmings blindly vote for.y
Christopher Schwabe is going to lose his $350K government allowance, and Maine will lose $20,000 in income tax…
Hallowell based – That says it all.
Prison
The PPP loan in the last paragraph should have been cause for its own investigation under Biden.
