Dr. Kaltenborn quoted Dr. Brian Green, Executive Director of Christian Health Associates, as saying, “Anchorage Project Access is too important to fail.” This sentiment was the energy that propelled the numerous founders during the Anchorage Project Access implementation period.
As was noted in the program and by many who came to the podium, this award honoring Drs. Kaltenborn and Schumacher also “pays tribute to all those providers and health-related facilities and institutions that make Anchorage Project Access possible.”
On behalf of the Board of Directors and Staff, congratulations to Drs Kaltenborn, Schumacher and the numerous physicians and business professionals responsible for launching Anchorage Project Access in our community. And to the volunteer network that makes Anchorage Project Access a reality—a heartfelt thank you. Anchorage Project Access would not exist without your ongoing generosity.
