Support health care journalism that makes a difference

Your gift to the Center for Excellence in Health Care Journalism helps power the training, fellowships, and resources journalists rely on to report accurately and meaningfully on critical health issues. From in-depth reporting to accessible educational tools, your support strengthens journalism that informs communities and improves public understanding of health care.

The Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

The Association of Health Care Journalists (AHCJ) is a separate 501(c)(6) membership organization that supports this work by serving journalists and building a strong professional community. Contributions made directly to AHCJ are not tax-deductible.

As many of our members may know, AHCJ lost a friend and colleague, Pia Christensen, to cancer at age 50 in May 2021. Pia served as managing editor/online services for 15 years and was part of the Missouri School of Journalism staff for 20 years.

Pia was especially enthusiastic about AHCJ’s annual conference and would have been very supportive of any effort to make it easier for people to attend. In the past, AHCJ has been able to offer a limited amount of travel assistance aside from our formal fellowship programs for those members who might need some help with costs.

In 2022, AHCJ introduced a conference assistance scholarship in Pia’s name to memorialize her contributions to AHCJ.

Conference assistance funds are available to help defray some — but not all — associated expenses for members who are interested in attending AHCJ events. Donations to the fund are tax deductible.
