Gratitude for the Present and Hope for the Future

As we come to the end of another year, we reflect on all the moments, big and small, that make us grateful for the present and hopeful for the future. 

This year, we celebrated a number of meaningful milestones on campus, including the 75th anniversary of the MCV Foundation, the 75th anniversary of the Department of Health Administration at the VCU College of Health Professions, and the 50th anniversary of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center.  

Our continued excellence would not be possible without the generosity of donors and the support they provide to enhance the teaching, healing and research missions on the MCV Campus.  The foundation is grateful for an enduring and expanding impact on that mission through healthy growth of endowment funds that support faculty salaries, scholarships and research.  

Generosity fuels excellence, allowing VCU’s health sciences schools to provide a world-class education, recruit the best and brightest faculty, and make groundbreaking research a reality as we collectively aim for limitless possibilities. 

Thank you to all whose kind hearts continue to support a healthier Virginia for all, and thank you to all who are steadfast in their support for VCU Health’s mission. 

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at the MCV Foundation.
