Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $51,393 spent. FOLLOWING YEARS IN WHICH EAMAF HAS FUNDED A NUMBER OF MAJOR EQUIPMENT PURCHASES FOR KCMC AND REMOTE MEDICAL FACILITIES, REDUCED DONATIONS HAVE LIMITED ITS PROGRAMS. HOWEVER, EAMAF CONTINUES TO PROVIDE SALARY SUPPLEMENTS FOR KCMC'S STAFF RADIOLOGISTS AND TO MAKE MINOR EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. EAMAF IS CONTINUING ITS COLLABORATION WITH KCMC IN THE FINANCING AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MAJOR CARDIOVASCULAR CENTER AT KCMC (THE CENTER). THE CENTER IS EXPECTED TO SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE ROLE OF THE KCMC RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT AND ITS INTERACTION WITH OTHER KCMC DEPARTMENTS. IT IS ALSO LIKELY TO RESULT IN A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL KCMC RADIOLOGISTS AND RELATED STAFF AND EQUIPMENT.
  2. $70,500 spent. EAMAF PROVIDES MONETARY SUPPORT IN THE FORM OF SALARY SUPPLEMENTS FOR RADIOLOGISTS. ALL PROVIDE PATIENT SERVICES, WHILE ONE ALSO ACTS AS RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT CHAIR AND ANOTHER AS CHAIR OF THE SCHOOL OF RADIOLOGY.
