Did You Know?

Public health leader Dr. Anthony Fauci has been named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary eClub of Florida. Fauci is one of our lifetime’s most celebrated infectious disease experts, lauded for his dedication to educating the public on health crises strategies, from HIV/AIDS in the 1980s to today’s COVID-19 pandemic.

The Paul Harris Fellow award recognizes people who have donated $1,000 to Rotary, or had donations made in their name to total $1,000. 

Dr. Deborah Leah Birx, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, under former President Barack Obama, was also named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary eClub of Florida for her dedication to public health and community service.

Past recipients on a public scale have included former president Jimmy Carter and polio vaccine developer Jonas Salk. Not only do these awards recognize the good works of public health servants, they also offer ample exposure for Rotary on an international stage.  See the post here.
