Resource Materials WABR was founded a decade ago to educate the public on the value of biomedical research for the health of both humans and animals. The past ten years have been a magnificent implementation of that goal.
Biomedical research is a commitment to life.
Much remains to be done. This new brochure highlights WABR's mission, programs and services. It also addresses the complex questions involved in animal research, the health care consequences at stake, and the stringent federal and state regulations governing this work. Focusing on three lives affected by biomedical research, this piece features the patient stories of Patty Wood, the 1998 recipient of the Clyde Shields Award from the Northwest Kidney Foundation, bone marrow transplant recipient Jose Carreras, and a dog named Brandy, treated successfully for a brain tumor. Details about primary players in some of the ancillary animal rights groups are also included.
