PCI was founded in 1961 by Dr. James W. Turpin.
In 1961, a young doctor from San Diego volunteering at a Tijuana clinic saved the lives of two small children who were dying of pneumonia. This experience led Dr. James Turpin to found PCI and forever change the lives of millions of children and families around the world by providing health and hope to those most in need.

For fifty years, thousands of dedicated individuals and groups have worked to make this vision a reality. [3]
