Foundation For International Medical Relief of Children

The Southeastern Pennsylvania Chapter was founded in 1916 as a chartered unit of the American National Red Cross and serves the nearly 4 million people of Montgomery, Philadelphia, Chester, Delaware and Bucks counties.

The ABIM Foundation, based in Philadelphia, PA, is dedicated to enhancing trust in the health care system by promoting medical professionalism and health equity. Through initiatives like the Building Trust program and the Choosing Wisely campaign, the foundation engages with health care leaders to address systemic challenges and improve patient care. Key projects include community-driven initiatives to combat disparities, such as a colorectal cancer program at Duke University, and annual awards that recognize excellence in addressing ethical dilemmas in medicine. The foundation also organizes forums and discussions aimed at fostering a more trustworthy medical environment while emphasizing the importance of innovative trust-building practices.
