The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Howard University
launched the program to honor the legacy of former Kaiser Trustee and
Congresswoman, Barbara Jordan, by creating opportunities for minority students
in health policy and eventually, increasing the numbers of minority health
policy professionals. As a member of the United States Congress and the Texas State
Legislature, Barbara Jordan's distinguished career was typified by her tireless
advocacy of behalf of the disadvantaged. She brought this passion to her work
inspiring others to become involved in addressing challenging health policy
issues.
The Program continues Barbara Jordan's commitment to championing
the causes of the poor and disadvantaged by annually providing 10 talented
college students from underprivileged backgrounds the opportunity to work in Washington,
DC for 9 weeks in a congressional office with major health policy responsibilities. The Scholars will gain exposure to health
policy issues and firsthand understanding of how the federal government works.
Seminars, lectures, and field trips will augment the work
experiences of
the Scholars.
