The World Is WaitingHMS launches transformative $750 million fundraising campaignHarvard Medical School has been innovating

for more than 230 years, from developing the

smallpox vaccine and paving the way for the polio

vaccine to transforming the ability to treat cancers

and revolutionizing the understanding of how the

brain develops. Like their acclaimed predecessors,

today’s HMS researchers, trainees, alumni, and

students are tackling the greatest health care

challenges of our time.

HMS is the epicenter of the largest biomedical research

community in the world. Together with our 16 renowned

affiliated hospitals and research institutions, we are

making breakthroughs that have a tangible impact on

how the world understands and treats disease.

“This is the world’s greatest medical school, in the

world’s greatest University, deeply embedded with

many of the greatest hospitals and biomedical research

institutes,” says Jeffrey S. Flier, MD, dean of HMS and

the Caroline Shields Walker Professor of Medicine.

“Even at Harvard, this pulsing ecosystem of energized

people able to educate, innovate, and discover, we

cannot fund everything we should—and must.”

On Nov. 13, HMS officially launched The World Is

Waiting: The Campaign for Harvard Medicine, a

transformative $750 million fundraising initiative

that is empowering its mission to alleviate human

suffering caused by disease.

"This Campaign is about helping people live

longer, healthier lives,” says Flier. “We are

using our most effective tools—education,

discovery, service, and leadership—to attack

disease and address the biggest health care

challenges of our time. Both the needs and

the opportunities are great. Our success

is critical to the health of our children,

grandchildren, and indeed the whole human

family around the globe.”

Changing Lives

Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust

says it is a privilege to glimpse the vast dimensions

of medicine at Harvard: some 20,000 faculty and

students and nearly 10,000 alumni whose new

ideas stretch minds and change lives across the

world every day, from labs and teaching hospitals in

Boston to rural clinics in Liberia.

“Together we can stretch our minds with new ideas,

fill the world with new hope, alleviate suffering,

and improve human lives,” says Faust, the Lincoln

Professor of History.

HMS has raised $396 million toward the Campaign

goal as of Dec. 31, 2014, representing gifts and

pledges from more than 5,000 alumni, faculty, staff,

board members, volunteers, and friends.

“Only bold institutions—willing to do things

differently, willing to build on strengths and willing

to take risks and create new paths—will meet

expectations deserving of even more support,” says

Joshua Boger, AM ’75, PhD ’79, campaign chair,

member of the HMS Board of Fellows, and founder

and former CEO of Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

“Today, in every building, down every hallway, in

every lab, I see young medical and research

students dreaming what I dreamed,” says Flier,

recalling his days as a young researcher at the

National Institutes of Health. “In many cases, all

they need is one person with the resources to help.

You can be that person.”
