Last May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) presented AVSC with a meaningful tribute: recognition for "Outstanding Performance in Partners in Public Health."

In a framed document now hanging in the boardroom, the CDC thanks AVSC for its support and collaboration over the years. After singling out AVSC's expertise in the field of men's reproductive health, the tribute concludes simply: "AVSC International's work and commitment to improving reproductive health in this country and around the world has been exemplary."
