In 2002, the Birmingham News did a special report about "The Black Belt: Alabama's Third World." This report not only inspired Dr. Ford and her husband that they could make a difference, but it moved them to take action instead of waiting for someone else to solve the "health" and "care" issues of their community. Dr. Ford has since co-founded the Spirit of Luke Charitable Foundation that sponsors A Promise to Help (APTH), non-profit that runs on the hope of eliminating healthcare disparities in Alabama. Dr. Ford's unwavering compassion for underprivileged and underinsured populations of The Black Belt region has brought her household recognition where her generous spirit is felt by thousands of Alabamians since she began healthcare services six years ago.
