Bob Smithwick

Palo Alto Rotary's Dr. Robert Smithwick was instrumental in the formation of MediShare.  Palo Alto Rotary continues to support this organization through Rotary Foundation grants and Dr. Smithwick efforts.  In his most recent "Radio Project",  Bob worked with a small Rotary Club in Zambia to get  the necessary government approval for import and installation of new radio equipment and solar panels in rural hospitals.
