Affected by Ike? Assistance available from AAFP, survey from TMA

Access aid to rebuild your storm-damaged practice or donate to colleagues in storm-ravaged areas through AAFP’s disaster assistance program, which provides support to family physicians who have undergone uninsured losses to their medical practices or who need help to get their practices up and running again in a time of crisis. Download an application to request aid or to donate to this program on the AAFP Foundation Web site, www.aafpfoundation.org.

Also, take a look at the Texas Medical Association’s disaster preparedness Web site. Here you can fill out a survey, "What Did Ike Do To Your Practice?," to aid the Catastrophic Medical Operations Center in determining the medical resources available in certain areas of Southeast Texas or share your stories through TMA’s blog, "Blogged Arteries".
