In 1987, the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians (IAFP) created the IAFP Foundation, which was later renamed the Family Health Foundation of Illinois. The Foundation shares resources and information with the AAFP Foundation's network of 39 affiliated chapter Foundations. The IAFP and its Foundation are two distinct organizations which enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship. The two are closely aligned in their missions and work together to achieve their common goal of improving healthcare for the people of Illinois.The Foundation exists to address the philanthropic needs of family physicians in Illinois while providing programs and support to family medicine residents and to medical students with the goal of attracting more Illinois medical students to train and practice in Illinois.
The Family Health Foundation of Illinois, Inc. is the only charitable organization in Illinois that exists to improve and increase access to quality health care by investing in the specialty of family medicine.
