Howard University Hospital Opens New Women, Infants and Children Center
Stephen Curry Partners with Howard University to Launch First Division I Golf Program
Howard University Hospital (HUH) opened a new Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Family Center at the Joint Base Anacostia — Bolling. The new center will provide lowincome, military families with infants and children access to healthy foods, nutritional and educational counseling, breastfeeding support, health care and immunization resources, and community-based social services.
Six-time NBA All-Star and Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation co-founder, Stephen Curry, announced his commitment to Howard University, with a pledge to support the establishment of the University’s first NCAA Division I golf program for the next six years. Inspired by Howard senior and golfer, Otis Ferguson IV, whom Curry met during a campus visit earlier this year, Curry was compelled to act when Ferguson shared that his impassioned solo crusade to get a golf team at Howard proved unsuccessful. An avid golfer himself, Curry will introduce and increase access to elite golf at a historically Black college, furthermore calling on sport and community giants like Under Armour, Callaway, Eat. Learn. Play., among others, for help with equipment, uniforms and more. The University previously had a Division II golf team and various intercollegiate and intramural club teams.
