Create KnowledgeGoal: $120 million $53.1 million raised as of 6/30/09 |
MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE PROGRESSES THROUGH THE INSIGHTS of outstanding individuals. To encourage the flashes of genius that continue to redefine medicine, we are committed to attracting and retaining the best minds in medicine. We seek the resources to provide support for these experts so that they can generate the knowledge that will define medicine. Endowed professorships excite and attract excellence. These positions, created with funds invested in perpetuity, allow us to cultivate and compete for the best medical leaders who can drive the best medical education, research, and patient care. Endowed chairs join the intentions of forward-looking donors with the brilliance and expert knowledge of professors who are shaping the future of medicine. Our $120 million campaign goal for creating knowledge will allow us to establish 40 new endowed professorships that will sustain and build upon our strengths in targeted areas critical to our future success. Drs. John Trojanowski and Virginia Lee, along with the other renowned researchers of Penn Medicine, create knowledge that saves lives. more >
