The Foundation for Community Health (FCH) is currently accepting applications for the Medical Education Fund 2020.
The FCH Medical Education Fund identifies and supports learning opportunities on health-related issues for health care providers across disciplines.
It was established by pooling the Peter H. Smith Fund and the Elizabeth McCall Fund. Historically, funds from the FCH Medical Education Fund were used to host FCH’s annual Medical Education Event.
These funds are now available to non-profit organizations to support their efforts to provide educational programs that enhance the daily work of health care professionals in the community.
