As a part of its mission, Charles Drew University’s graduates continue to provide urgently needed healthcare services to millions of medically underserved residents of the poorest communities. Named in honor of the brilliant African-American physician whose pioneering work in blood preservation has saved a billion lives in 60 years. Charles Drew University was born in a fire, the Watts Rebellion of 1965. In its aftermath a strong, vibrant and resilient institution was created committed to the ideal that health is a human right. Through excellence in education, clinical practice outreach and research that makes a real difference, the University continues four decades later to proudly serve people in the greatest need, in the largest underserved urban area in the nation — and others like it everywhere. |
