chairman's message

The late Henry Ford was quoted as saying, “coming together is a beginning; keeping together is a process; working together is success.” The Board of Directors of the MCG Foundation has enjoyed the opportunity to work together with Dr. Ricardo Azziz since his arrival in 2010. His vision and work ethic stand as a clear example of how working together creates the basis for the success of the Georgia
Health Sciences University. During his presidency, Dr. Azziz has helped mend and build relationships with the MCG Foundation, the GHSU enterprise, and University Hospital.

The Board sees these partnerships as critical to the growth of the institution as well as the growth of medical education in the State. The Foundation is committed to assisting Dr. Azziz with making possible the vision to establish the GHSU as a globally recognized research university and academic health center, while transforming the region into a health care and biomedical research destination.

If you have any questions, you are encouraged to contact any member of the Board of Directors or the Foundation’s President and CEO, James B. Osborne, Sr., EdD.

Sincerely,

Alva L. Mayes, Jr., MD
MCG Foundation Chairman of the Board
Class of ’56
