Center for health research named for Dr. Rachel Boone Keith

The Wayne State University College of Nursing has announced a $2.1 million fundraising campaign to name the Center for Health Research (CHR) in honor of the late Detroit medical pioneer Dr. Rachel Boone Keith, who was a member of the college's Board of Visitors. She also was a civil rights activist, mentor for physicians of color and advocate for poor and uninsured patients. The CHR's research program is dedicated to advancing nursing knowledge and improving nursing and health, particularly in the areas of urban health, self-care and care-giving.
