In January of 2009, Foster Group was honored to become a Platinum Sponsor of the Nebraska Medical Association. The medical community in Nebraska is working diligently to train, equip, and keep the best physicians in the country. Foster Group is delighted that a portion of their sponsorship will be used to create a scholarship fund for the benefit of medical students committed to staying in Nebraska once completed with their training.
Des Moines University - Global Health Program
Des Moines University is thinking outside the box as they prepare medical students to go out and impact the world. Through DMU's Global Health Program students are given an option to go to third world countries to learn, serve, and gain a broader perspective of the medical needs abroad. Foster Group takes much joy in being the founding sponsor to DMU's Global Health program. We have committed to DMU's Global Health Program by establishing The Foster Group Fund for Global Health and have made an initial four year financial commitment. The fund will be used to send medical students to third world countries to experience global health first hand. Foster Group will participate in the selection of students and will take great interest in their experience and follow up.
