What it reported doing in 2019

Doctors, nurses, and social workers train together across the lines of conflict to save lives. Leading u.s., israeli and palestinian medical faculty work together in areas such as emergency medical improvements, poisoning prevention and treatment, and domestic violence mitigation to create a new core of leaders positioned to save lives and lead to a new and safer reality on the ground. During 2019 the organization has ceased operations and has distributed its remaining assets to three 501(c)(3) organizations in dissolution.
