About Iowa PSR

The Iowa Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR) is the statewide chapter of the National PSR, a non-profit, non-partisan organization committed to preserving people’s health and well being through research, education and advocacy. Both the state chapter and national organization combine the power of an active and concerned citizenry with the credibility of physicians and other health care professionals to promote policies that protect human health from the threats of nuclear war and other weapons of mass destruction, global environmental degradation, and the epidemic of gun violence in our society. These three man-made threats have a massive impact on public health and security and our concern for each of these issues guides our actions and organizational policies. Joint membership in the Iowa Chapter and National PSR is extended to a broad diversity of health care professionals, health science students, and concerned citizens who together support and advance the core programs of the national PSR as well as related issues of concern to Iowa.

With this website, we hope to provide a resource for updates and links on these issues and a means to contact us and other effective and related organizations for personal involvement in promoting peace and health for all. While we hope to be an informative resource for the issues that guide our organization, we also encourage visitors to take advantage of the provided links to government officials and various health and peace minded organizations that can be influential in ensuring that the ongoing concern for global health is appreciated and addressed.
