Furman University announced today that Dr. Matthew W. Wilson, a Furman University graduate, is making a planned gift of $4 million to the university’s Institute for the Advancement of Community Health that will fund an endowment and existing scholarships. Through the gift, Wilson aims to help tackle pressing health care questions such as – How do you get to the doctor when you don’t have a car? How do you pay the doctor or buy medicine when your low-wage job doesn’t offer health coverage? How do you communicate with the nurse if there’s a language barrier? – issues that are exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, and disproportionately impact African Americans and Latinos. Wilson said, “It’s clear that health care disparities are real, and they need to be addressed. I’m incredibly proud of the fact that Furman has an avenue to study and provide solutions for these challenges. The goal is to ensure a legacy for the opportunities that IACH is providing for the students at Furman, giving them the experiential education they need to pursue health care careers and be a part of the solution.” “Dr. Wilson has proven to be a champion of health care for those who need it most and of educating future health care providers who will serve their communities,” said Furman President Elizabeth Davis. “We are so grateful to Matt for his generosity and for his commitment to his alma mater and our students.” The Institute for the Advancement of Community Health was formed ...
