Local APF Chapter Event Showcases
Strong Michigan-Israel Medical Connections

Even with a growing number of regional APF chapters across the country, we can be proud that, consistent with so much national Jewish leadership arising in Michigan, the most active chapter of this premier organization promoting medicine in Israel is in southeast Michigan.
The event featured three esteemed leaders:
- Robert Folberg, MD, Founding Dean of the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine
- Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, MD, President of Oakland University
- Jack Sobel, MD, Dean of the Wayne State University School of Medicine
These physicians gave individual talks and participated in a panel discussion about their personal involvement and their institutions’ ties to Israeli medical institutions, which included a lively audience Q+A.

The APF Paul R. Scherer Memorial Fund
|
|
|
It is with profound sadness that I announce the death of an esteemed member of the APF family. Dr. Paul R. Scherer passed away in September in San Francisco. Dr. Scherer, who worked with APF since 1986, made significant contributions to podiatric education in his 40-plus-year career. He authored numerous scientific articles and was a sought-after national and international lecturer. Dr. Scherer played a lead role in the advancement Podiatric Medicine in Israel as a project director at Hebrew University Hospital at Hadassah Ein Kerem. In 2012, he was nominated to be the first non-M.D. President to serve on the APF Board, where he served for two years. He survived by his wife Anne, three sons, David, Michael and Jeremy, and five grandchildren, Random, Arkadi, Scarlett, Oren and Clementine. He was loved by his nephews and niece, Robin, Gavin and Hilary, and by an extended loving family in Nova Scotia.
With pride but also sadness, APF announces the establishment of the
Paul R. Scherer Memorial Fund
to continue his commitment to medical research and to Israel.
