When Healthcare Hurts is the first book to look seriously at the challenges of patient safety and developmental safety in global health missions, and it defines evidence-based guidelines through which these issues can be addressed.

His graduate thesis project was on patient safety in global health, and has served as adjunct faculty in the nursing programs at Indiana Wesleyan University and King University.

Christian Health Service Corps provides Christ-centered, compassionate healthcare, trains and mentors local healthcare providers, facilitate residency training for family physicians and surgeons, and helps fund hospital infrastructure projects, equipment, and supplies. Prior to founding Christian Health Service Corps Greg and his wife Candi designed, monitored and implemented global health initiatives in multiple regions; first for a Miami based mission organization and then for Mercy Ships International.
