SAEMF Donors Are Making BIG Things Happen for Emergency Medicine

As we round the corner to the autumn season, the time is right to reflect on all the good that is happening thanks to SAEMF’s thoughtful leaders, dedicated volunteers, inspired grantees, and the amazing generosity of our Annual Alliance donors. Through the dedication and commitment of these champions, we continue to move closer to realizing our vision of becoming the premier foundation transforming the science and practice of this vibrant field of medicine. We are grateful. Donor gifts and pledges are paving the way! Look at what SAEMF and its donors have accomplished in recent years:
