Health Care

One of the main focuses of my philanthropic efforts has been in the area of healthcare, often focusing on the important issues of children. Louis Pasteur said, “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.”

Affordable and effective healthcare is the key to our well being and we must attack these problems with innovation, funding, and efforts from the talented individuals passionate for the cause. Please join me in supporting the following organizations however you can.
