The AMDA Foundation, a 501(c)(3), was officially chartered and incorporated on January 17, 1996, when the members and board of directors of AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine realized the profound need to further research and its translation into practice in long-term care. Today, the Foundation has expanded it's focus to include:
* addressing the workforce shortage in
post-acute/long-term care (PA/LTC) medicine;
*encouraging research in PA/LTC medicine;
*recognizing the outstanding achievements of our members and their innovative quality improvement programs;
*enhancing the global awareness and best practices in PA/LTC medicine; and
*educating the public about PA/LTC medicine. The AMDA Foundation is recognized as a public charity, an exempt organization under Sec. 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Gifts or contributions to the AMDA Foundation are deductible as charitable contributions for federal tax purposes to the fullest extent of the law.
