Many thanks to our Corporate Partners who have renewed for 2000, our milestone 10th anniversary. Their support is critical for the on-going programmatic and administrative efforts which yield educational opportunities for AMWA members. The American Women's Hospitals Service provides funding for nine clinics in the U.S. and abroad that provide health care to the uninsured and those well below the federal poverty level. The Dover Clinic is a recent recipient of AWHS support. Past services at the nine-year old, storefront clinic on South Warren Street are free, no appointment needed.
Many patients are recent immigrants who speak no English.
The clinic is run by Dr. Robert and Kay Zufall. After years in private practice and taking regular trips to South America to train doctors and attend to the health needs of low income families, the Zufalls opened the small clinic in 1990. Here at the clinic, they have treated us very well. Even though we have no insurance, I know now that my children will stay healthy. With the help of approximately thirty volunteers, including physicians and nurses, the clinic treats approximately 12,000 patients a year.
