Aesclepius Medical Society's 33rd Anniversary Gala

Aesclepius Medical Society (AMS) is a non-for-profit organization that promotes the advancement of minorities in the field of medicine through mentorship, academic support, and resources. AMS also exposes physicians, members as well as aspiring health professionals to the practice of _giving back_ through our year-round community services that provide healthcare assistance to the medically underserved populations of New York and Haiti. In the aftermath of the overpowering earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010 and beyond, the organization sent approximately 150 volunteers to Haiti, to provide care, donate food, water, clothes and 1000 pairs of shoes. AMS also responded to the Cholera outbreak by sending antibiotics, IV fluids as well as a delegation of providers. Until recently, we had been embarked on a project to send to school impoverished children in need of an education. To face the destruction caused by hurricane Matthew, AMS completed a mission in Haiti whereby, water, food, clothes and medications were provided to hundreds who are severely affected. Our last mission to Haiti ended approximately 2 weeks ago.
