He was asked to create a med school for Jews when there weren’t many. But his response in the last sentence goes beyond. Inspiring.
"I see rare hope that these twin disasters disproportionately hurting minorities—one a brand-new virus & the other a virus as old as the country itself—could finally prove the true strength of our shared humanity." - Our President & CEO Dr. Philip Ozuah:
On April 2nd, our Grand Hall closed for gatherings and opened up to accommodate
