Message from Dr. Ronald Carter
At Loma Linda University, we are dedicated to educating health professionals who are deeply committed to compassionate care and focused on treating the whole person. As we look back on Vision 2020 – The Campaign for a Whole Tomorrow, your support has enabled students to acquire the education and training they need. By increasing endowments, scholarships and educational approaches for our schools, we have built on our mission to continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ. During the Vision 2020 campaign, we have seen milestones such as the graduation of our 11,000th medical student and 10,000th nursing student since the University’s founding in 1905. We also established the San Manuel Gateway College in 2016 through the partnership and generosity of the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. This past year, thanks to your support, we were also able to provide emergency aid to about 100 students through our COVID-19 Student Relief Fund.

Over the past eight years, your gifts have ensured support for scholarships, expansion of faculty pipelines and research that fuels our approach to wholeness-centered medical practices. Through the historic advancements of the Vision 2020 campaign and the new hospital towers, our future leaders can confidently approach healthcare with compassion and excellence.
