Harvard Medical School is halfway toward its goal of raising $750 million in its piece of the ongoing University-wide capital campaign, the school announced Thursday afternoon. The campaign’s four priorities include better educating students and increasing student financial aid; understanding and curing disease by supporting biomedical informatics, therapeutic science, and other fields; improving health systems through increased focus on global health, health care systems, and primary care; and providing flexible funding for health research and change. Jeffrey S. Flier, dean of the faculty of medicine at Harvard University, is quoted.
