It's a neat group that uses the proceeds from selling the osteopathic hospital we had in town decades ago, now to fund health-related grants for charities in the area, as well as grant scholarships to medical students. Picking charities is a lot of work, but rewarding! Here are some of the grants we've approved lately!
