Tahirih Thanks Pro Medical Network!
The Tahirih Justice Center is truly a work of the community as evident not just by our large group of generous supporters and pro bono legal and public policy professionals, but also by the multitude of others who contribute their time and services. Today, we would like to highlight and thank our pro bono medical professionals, volunteers, and interns who make possible holistic justice for women and girls fleeing violence.
Pro Bono Medical Network
In January 2007, through the generous support of the Consumer Health Foundation, Tahirih launched the Pro Bono Medical Network—a group of medical and dental providers who provide pro bono care to our clients as Tahirih works to resolve their legal case. To-date, Tahirih’s network includes 12 individual providers and MedStar Physician Partners—who have 18 offices in the Washington, DC metropolitan area and are committed to serving 100 Tahirih clients a year. Since our last newsletter, the following medical providers have served Tahirih clients:
- Dr. Michael Cohen
Dr. Kate Sugarman
Dr. Michael Goldberg
Dr. Rita King of MedStar Physicians Partners
Tahirih is truly grateful to these dedicated professionals for their efforts to assist our clients. If you, or someone you know, is interested in learning more about our Pro Bono Medical Network, please email medical@tahirih.org.
