AAUW-DAW January Program

Start the new year by joining us for our monthly meeting on January 19, 2023, at 6:00 pm. We start with 30 minutes of our usual social time with decaf coffee, tea, brownies, lemon bars and muffins. At 6:30 pm our guest speaker will be Dr. William Francis, Assistant Medical Director, Family Violence Prevention and Pediatrics, at the Sutter Delta Emergency Department in Antioch. His talk will be about emergency medicine in general, leading into specifically providing health care to women experiencing violence. He’ll also tell us about the innovative TeleCARE program in Contra Costa which enables remote care for victims who may not be able to access in-person services.

In 2018 Dr. Francis began partnering with STAND! followed by the Family Justice Center and founded the TeleCARE program with the objective of providing accessible and free healthcare to all survivors of interpersonal violence and their families. Dr. Francis is a champion of interpersonal violence prevention, healthcare access and pediatric emergency services.
