AWHS provides grants to overseas clinics and individuals working on projects abroad and in the US that address the healthcare needs of underserved people, especially women and children. Dr. Laura Roebuck has been a significant financial supporter of this work and we thank her for passion and generosity.
Donate to AWHSAWHS has an active volunteer committee, chaired by Dr. Laura Helfman. The committee is looking for more members-both trainees and practicing physicians-to help with much needed initiatives. If you are interested in joining the AWHS committee, send an email to awhs@amwa-doc.org.
AWHS is changing to an annual process to the review and select overseas travel and community project grants. The due date for applications for the next set of grants is January 30, 2019.
