The Wilson Agency raises more than $55,000 for APA!
The Wilson Agency is celebrating 50 years in business, and to commemorate this significant milestone they teamed up with Anchorage Project Access with the goal of raising $50,000.
We are pleased to report that more than $55,000 has been raised so far. We were presented with $53,420 in funds at a gala celebrating their anniversary last week—and donations have continued to come in.
We are honored to be the beneficiary of such generosity and sincerely thank everyone at The Wilson Agency for their amazing support and dedication to our mission.

Congratulations to Drs. KC Kaltenborn & Cathie Schumacher
The APA Founders were awarded the Volunteerism & Community Service Award from the American College of Physicians on May 9, 2014.
Drs. Schumacher and Kaltenborn spent countless hours to plan and implement Anchorage Project Access. Without their leadership, APA simply would not exist. On behalf of our patients, we applaud their efforts and energy and congratulate them on a well-deserved honor.
