Last Thursday night, Physicians for Peace, along with partner organizations Eastern Virginia Medical School, Children’s Hospital of the Kings Daughters, and Los Minas Maternity Hospital in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic were jointly recognized by Old Dominion University College of Health Sciences with their “Great Science for Better Health” award. This award was in recognition of a joint pilot/demonstration project in Norfolk some years back that was then replicated by us in the Dominican Republic, now known as Resource Mothers. The program has been greatly successful helping mothers in poverty by providing them with a mentor to assist with prenatal care and nutrition, giving them a better chance at having a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.
Congratulations to Dr. Ed. Karotkin, Laverne Morris, Mary Kwasniewski, Dr. Ramon Lopez, Dr. Diana Forno Batres, EVMS, CHKD, Los Minas, and most importantly, all of our Resource Mothers for a job well done.
