“I believe that higher education does exist to address society’s greatest challenges. I believe that too many people lack access to health and healing and hope. And I believe that the solution to providing what people deserve is bringing together the strengths of a university to bear in solving the health needs of our nation and world and, particularly, in addressing the health disparities that persist,” he said.
