Daniel S. Blumenthal, MD, MPH Public Health Symposium

Initiated and led by Morehouse School of Medicine, Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine, in partnership with the Georgia Public Health Association and the Department of Public Health Education, and Kaiser Permanente, this endowed symposium honors the legacy of Daniel Sender Blumenthal, MD, MPH, who devoted almost 40 years teaching medical and other health professionals how to properly treat and care for disadvantaged underserved populations. He was unwavering in his commitment to empowering communities and worked tirelessly in Georgia’s rural and local Atlanta communities to bring quality healthcare services, research, and resources to some of the state’s most impoverished areas.

Although he retired from the medical school in 2014, he continued to work with MSM as Professor and Chair Emeritus of the Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine until the final day of his life.
