AAFP Foundation

Disaster Relief

Your AAFP Foundation believes it is important to help those whose lives have been impacted by disaster both here in the U.S. and around the world.  
Disaster Assistance Program -- Donations to the Disaster Assistance Program help family physicians whose practices are wiped out by domestic disasters.

International and Domestic Disaster Relief Efforts - In 2008, the Foundation supported cyclone victims in Myanmar, earthquake victims in China, flood and tornado victims in the Midwest, as well as hurricane victims in the South.  This lifesaving work was possible because of you and your generous gifts.
