SAVE: Stop America's Violence Everywhere
The American Medical Association Alliance (AMAA), a national organization of 40,000 physicians' spouses, began observing SAVE Day in 1995 as a way to foster non-violent styles of coping and behavior. PMSA promotes and supports the various programs that make up the SAVE Campaign and works closely with the AMAA to implement them.
Former Gov. Tom Ridge has congratulated the State Alliance for their collaboration in teaching children the importance of resolving conflicts and avoiding violence.
“Keeping our schools, our neighborhoods, and our children safe from violence is a critically important task, and I applaud the dedication and the hard work that made this community-based effort possible,” said Ridge.
Alliance members participating in the national SAVE Campaign visit schools and playgrounds to distribute activity books, place mats, and puzzles. The SAVE Campaign is just one example of the Alliance's commitment to reducing and preventing school violence.
Live & Then Give
The Live & Then Give program is a cooperative initiative of the State Medical Society and PMSA to increase the number of donated organs among members and the general public.
