Celebrate Three Decades of Moving Medical Mountains
For 30 years, Project Access has helped break down barriers to specialty medical care through the power of community. This semi-formal event will celebrate the physicians, partners, and supporters who have made lifesaving care possible, and the thousands of neighbors whose lives have been changed along the way. We will particularly honor Miriam Schwarz, former WCMS Executive Director for many years, and the visionary founder of Project Access, Dr. Suzanne Landis.
Join us for an inspiring evening honoring the impact of the past three decades while looking ahead to the work still to come. Together, we’ll reflect on the medical mountains we’ve moved and recommit to ensuring access to care for those who need it most.
