Dr. Ashley Williams

Recipient of the 2024 John M. Templeton, Jr., MD Injury Prevention Research Scholarship

Testimonial

Like most EAST members, I’m one of those surgeons that has a bias for action and takes every opportunity to get out and DO SOMETHING! My research focuses on building comprehensive strategies to address gun violence, the leading cause of death for kids.

The John M. Templeton, Jr., MD Injury Prevention Research Scholarship was the first monetary support I received, allowing me to perform a robust qualitative analysis of the program. Since then, I’ve received over $2 million in support to further explore impactful solutions that reduce violence and its impacts to benefit our patients and communities.

I’d like to offer a sincerely THANK YOU to all contributors of the EAST Development Fund.
