We’d like to take the time to give a huge thank you to our PWT Shield Members!
These are persons who have stepped up, not only with their words but with their actions! They’ve given equivalent to a minimum of $100 monthly for a year and are ambassadors of the values this group strives to uphold: collaboration, commitment, competency, compassion, caring, and there's more, of course. They’ll be receiving their very own plaque with year notation badges!
We invite you to join them! We're excited we have medical students, residents, practicing and non practicing physicians and we also realize that amount may not be something you can do at this time. Well be on the lookout for other ways you can support and give with a special event coming up next week!
In the meantime, here are others ways in addition to donating you can get involved and show your support: 1) sharing information 2) increasing membership 3) speaking up 4) volunteering What better time to do this than now, as we get ready to celebrate the 5th National Physicians Week in March 2020?!? Help us continue to educate the public and award more medical students scholarships!

To our our Shield Members, as well as anyone who has so graciously and generously given, remember to take your receipts to your tax preparer for your tax deductible benefits. We know it’s not the main reason you give but we also know it’s a good thing for many to reduce their taxes! Thank you PWT for all you do. Because of you, we've been able to accomplish everything we have and will accomplish more! We're looking forward to the future.
