On Friday, April 26th, JMSA hosted its 2nd Benefactors Appreciation Evening at the Yale Club in NYC. The evening brought together over 50 guests, comprised of Benefactors, JMSA members and Board and friends. The goal of the event was for JMSA to have the chance to express our sincere appreciation to the donors and to showcase JMSA’s programs which would not be possible without their support.
The evening also celebrated the 9 residents who came to shadow physicians during the one-week Tohoku Medical Resident Education Program. These residents came to NY from Iwate, Sendai and Miyagi-ken.
Ambassador Mikio Mori gave a heartwarming speech and commended JMSA for programs such as the JMSA scholarship program and the JMSA community outreach program or JCOP.
