President Barack Obama

"To eliminate disparities, we must know enough (research); do enough (deliver the outcomes); care enough (commitment); and persevere enough (do not get discouraged)."

David Satcher, MD, PhD, Director, Morehouse School of Medicine

"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver."
