FEATURED GUEST CONTRIBUTOR
Strengthening Stanford through Collaboration
By Lloyd Minor, MD, Dean, Stanford University School of Medicine
In addition to being dean of the Stanford University School of Medicine, I am delighted to be a member of the staff of Stanford Hospital & Clinics (SHC). With a new state-of-the-art facility now starting to come out of the ground, it is an exciting time at SHC, and I am honored to have the opportunity to work with such an outstanding leader as president and CEO Amir Dan Rubin.
One of my primary responsibilities as dean is leading the Campaign for Stanford Medicine on behalf of the School of Medicine, SHC and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Launched last summer with an initial goal of $1 billion over three years, the Campaign has garnered so much generosity among our many enthusiastic supporters and transformative ideas among our academic community that we are already looking toward the next billion.
