The 2024 ANPA Carolinas Annual Symposium brought together physicians of all practices – family
practitioners, nephrologists, cardiologists, gynecologists, pediatricians, endocrinologists,
gastroenterologists, neurologists, dentists and many others for a day of activities and educational sessions.
At this year’s event, we were able to raise $89,000 to fund college scholarships and provide care for 630 patients for a year at the HeartBright Cardiac Resource Center in Charlotte. In addition, we collected 948 pounds of healthy food, and 39 blood pressure machines to help local people in need. We also made a donation to ANPA Nigerian missions.
We hope that you will join us in 2025 in support of our goals of raising funds for a healthier community and keeping our medical community up to date on the latest medical treatment information and innovative products and services.
The Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas (ANPA) represents the professional interests of
4,000 plus physicians, dentists and allied health professionals of Nigerian birth, ethnicity or empathy in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. They provide a platform for medical and scientific dialogue on issues of health within North America, the Caribbean and Africa. The ANPA Carolinas Chapter provides
medical service to communities throughout the greater Charlotte region and in other North and South Carolina counties. ANPA Carolinas provides community charity support, mentorship and scholarships to high school students interested in professions within the healthcare industry.
With Heart Disease, Diabetes and Stroke accounting for 1 in 3 deaths, and access to care being a top health issue in Charlotte, HeartBright bridges a critical healthcare gap for the working poor sector of our community. Every $50 donation funds treatment of a patient for 1 year. HeartBright provides treatment, education and resource programs for patients and early prevention of these issues in our youth. With the ability to have a comprehensive wellness plan that they can use to manage their disease, patients are able to improve their health, have hope for their future and be inspired to live healthy and productive lives. In 2023 HeartBright saved the local community 13.7 million in medical costs.
