BUILD A HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR EVERYONE We are at a point where we are being challenged to be bolder. Old health systems aren’t working anymore. The very foundation they’ve been built on is cracked. So, we’re doing something audacious. We’re rebuilding the
foundation, brick by brick. The new foundation we’re laying is created from the strongest material on earth: human resilience. And we will forever change the way the world thinks about health.
The Morrison Family College of Health embraces Catholic social teaching and is committed to
educating providers and leaders who will have the moral courage and ability to advance the common good by promoting health equity. The way we will accomplish this feat is by teaching our students how to care for the whole person, including their physical, mental, spiritual and social health. And we will succeed with support from donors and partners like you.
