An extraordinary journey, guided by you
Thank you for considering a gift to the Oakland
University William Beaumont School of Medicine. We are at the start of
an extraordinary journey, poised to transform health care education,
conduct innovative research and improve the practice of medicine in
southeastern Michigan and beyond.
With your support, the Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine will:
-
Attract and retain the brightest medical minds;
-
Improve health care for our communities and loved ones;
-
Create new jobs for the region and state;
-
Encourage the development of intellectual property and start-up companies;
-
Generate high-tech and biomedical research that will directly benefit patients.
We have not entered into this endeavor lightly. Both
Oakland University and Beaumont Health System will invest tens of
millions of dollars in the creation of the School of Medicine. It is an
enormous undertaking, one dictated by a pressing need for more
physicians who can care for an aging population and ease the substantial
shortage of doctors predicted in coming years.
As the first new Michigan medical school
launched in more than a generation, the Oakland University William
Beaumont School of Medicine marks a rare philanthropic opportunity for
individuals, corporations and foundations wishing not only to support
the training of new physicians but to impact positively the health and
well-being of entire communities.
Gifts of all sizes and types are needed to make
this happen. There are a number of ways in which to get involved, from
scholarship support – one of our most pressing needs as we recruit our
first classes of students – to capital projects, program support and
endowed chairs. We look forward to working with you to determine what
options might be best for you.
The Oakland University William Beaumont School
of Medicine will bring jobs to the region. It will inspire research that
will cure disease and prevent illness. It will generate new
technologies and new business. It will change lives. With your help, we
can build this dream from the ground up.
