Help make a difference by supporting the Western University and OHSU Medical Student Healthcare Equity Fair. The Oregon ACP Chapter has supported this event for several years because it aligns with our mission to support medical student education, medical student involvement in public health, and healthcare equity. For this kind of event, the best possible support is a small amount from many members. So we strongly urge you to consider a contribution.
To donate, simply follow the donation link here and, in the donation form, use the drop down menu to select "Health Equity Fair" as your designated fund. Every contribution, large or small, helps support this important initiative and creates a healthier, more equitable future for our communities.
Thank you for your generosity and support!
