Grants to MDs in Hurricanes

Clinical Psychiatry News, Oct, 2008

The American Medical Association Foundation's Health Care Recovery Fund will provide grants of up to $2,500 to physicians in places that have been declared disaster areas by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the foundation currently is accepting donations to help physicians who have been directly affected by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which hit parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

The foundation provides the grants to physicians in FEMA-declared disaster areas to help them rebuild or restore medical practices in those locations, according to the AMA.
