Today’s health professions students represent the future of health care for our communities, our state, and beyond. They’re on this amazing journey, a journey that both of us have experienced as health care providers ourselves, to gain the knowledge, tools, and skills to make a difference in the lives of our patients. And we feel compelled to support that journey in any way we can. We see different ways that we can chip in both big and small, whether through a mentorship conversation with a student, or in a financial gift towards a program that benefits all students, whatever it may be. We feel a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunities we’ve had, and we are fortunate to be able to pay it forward.
