WTVM.com and WTVM News Leader 9, Columbus, GA | Bioethics Director Will Challenge Inequalities
Member Center:
There's a new director for a National Center on Bioethics at Tuskegee University -- and Dr. Vanessa Northington Gamble promises to be active.
The center was part of a presidential apology issued by Bill Clinton in May 1997 for the infamous syphilis experiment. A former campus hospital at Tuskegee is being converted into the "National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care" -- complete with labs and classrooms.
Gamble says she plans to work against disparities in all parts of our country's health system. She adds it's not a matter of black or white, but an issue of quality and quantity in health care. Gamble begins her new job in Tuskegee July 1, moving from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
