Project Health Needs You!
This is a tough year for funding. The economy has forced some funders to cut back dramatically and others to close their doors to grants this year entirely. That's why Project Health started an individual donor campaign. Many of you have already given - THANK YOU. But there is still a long way to go. Donations are tax deductible and checks should be made to the Indianapolis Medical Society Foundation's Project Health.
As most IMS members know, Project Health is the largest and longest charitable project the Indianapolis Medical Society Foundation has ever undertaken. Because of the medical talent of Project Volunteers, true "miracles" have occurred. We are all very grateful for being able to be witnesses to these life-changing treatments. So, to all volunteer physicians, our sincere Thank You! As of 1/1/2010, the 1,000 volunteer doctors, hospitals and labs have contributed more than $14 million in care to Project Health patients.
