About the FAHP
The Fellow of the Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (FAHP) is a designation bestowed on AHP members who have made significant contributions to the healthcare philanthropy profession. The recipient must demonstrate professional excellence and a commitment to healthcare philanthropy through their education, experience, performance, and service.
What does it mean to hold the AHP Fellow designation?
