Patti White was a lifelong advocate on issues of women’s rights and tobacco control, including as a founding member of the International Network of Women Against Tobacco.
Patti’s friend and HealthBridge Board member David Sweanor donated $20,000 to HealthBridge to create a fund that will ensure that Patti’s work will continue and her memory will be preserved. The Fund provided support to increase access to health services among the most vulnerable and marginalized women, addressing critical issues of gender equality and the right to health in rural India.
