"We are interested in not just creating a college and preparing health care providers that help keep people well," Sullivan said. "We’re also interested in solving and addressing those systemic health care challenges that are going to lead to a healthier community and a healthier world."
"What I hope to create is a place to teach, learn and generate exemplary research," Hang said. "The future will be integrated for the whole person, family-centered, and community-oriented for people to stay healthy, mentally, physically, spiritually and socially."
