NMA Creates Fund For Meharry
SAT., AUGUST 1,1331
The National Medical
Asociation announced at '
the 86th Annual Conven-
tion the creation of the 1 ,
NMAMeharry ' ? J , Fund
which - is L ?a ; privately ;
j .. . -
nnanceu irust iuna to en
sure ,' the ; 'survival )) of,
Meharry Medical College,
Meharry is one of the na- ,
tion's - four historically
black medical schools.
Based in Nashville, Ten
nessee, Meharry is on the
verge of Closing many of.
its facilities' due to finan
cial difficulties.?". ' -v
The creation of the fund
was mandated by a resolu
tion adopted ? by' ' the
delegates to the 86th An
nual Convention of the
National Medical Asocia
tion which was recently
held in Atlanta, Georgia.
The intensive fund rais
ing effort is extended for
only 90 days with the hope
of raising a milion dollars
or more. Revenues will be,
appropriated at the discre
tion of the Meharry Board ;
of Directors and i is ex
pected that the monies will
be used to increase the
number of clinical faculty,
foster the level of financial
aid Nand enhance the,
research conducted at the
institution.
According to Dr.; Frank
S. Royal, newly installed
President of the National
Medical Association, "All
physicians:' across the
country, f. , particularly
black physicians, . must
make personal financial
sacrifices to guarantee the
continued existence of the
unique ; i services that
Meharry ; offers." Dr.
Royal, . ' ; a r Meharry
graduate, has made the
Meharry fund raising in
itiative the primary goal of
his administration.
"The historically black
medical schools have
always provided quality
education. Seventy-five
percent of all practicing
black physciahs went to
predominantly ' black
medical schools. Accor
ding to the National Ad
visory Committee on
Black Higher Education
and Black Colleges and
Universities, two of the
nation's four historically
black medical schools,
Meharry medical College
and Howard University,
toogether produced 22
percent of all black doc
tors and 40 percent of all
black dentists that
graduated on 1977," said
Dr. Royal.
It is significant that the
resolution calls for sup
port primarily from the
private sector rather than
from the public sector,
, which has traditionally
j provided funding for
; black f colleges.-; : i;TW:
delegates to the conven
. tion believe that a nexus
exists between the survival
of Meharry Medical Col
lege and the delivery of
medical services to- the
black community. The
delagates feel that black
, physiucians in this country
have an obligation and
