Story
The Anne Anderson Walk is a cherished annual social event in Cochrane. This year we will be walking together through the streets of London...and through medical history! As we pass the traditional tourist sites, we will explore London's medical connections from the Florence Nightingale Museum to UK's first maternity hospital.
Anne Anderson contributed to the stream of thinking and effort that gave birth to evidence-based health care. In the footsteps of Anne Anderson, many outstanding women continue to contribute and inspire other women to improve health knowledge for the good of their communities. Often these women are quiet achievers who might otherwise not be recognized. The goal of the Anne Anderson Award is to recognize and stimulate individuals contributing to the enhancement of women's visibility and participation in the Cochrane leadership. The award is given to a Cochrane member who has contributed meaningfully to the promotion of women as leaders and contributors to the organization. The money raised on this walk directly supports the Anne Anderson Award.
