Donating to Our Division
The success of the Urology Health Services Research Division in reaching our goals -- striving to improve the delivery, access, and quality of urologic care through innovative health services research -- requires more than the dedication of our team. Financial gifts to the division also play an important role in helping us sustain and expand the division.
The generous financial support of patients, our friends, institutions, and the community at-large are essential in continuing our record of excellence. With your support, we can train the next generation of medical students, urology residents, and fellows, support a robust research infrastructure that includes novel datasets and biostatistical support, and produce high-quality, impactful studies that change practice in positive ways.
Your financial gift is an opportunity to be part of the advanced training and forward-looking research on-going in our department.
