About Dr. Norman J. Beauchamp Jr
He is a higher education leader in health sciences, a clinical researcher and a radiologist who has advanced the treatment of stroke. He also served as the co-architect, alongside leaders at Henry Ford Health, in setting up an alliance between MSU Health Sciences and Henry Ford Health. The partnership is a 30-year alliance that includes a $2.5-billion-dollar initiative in Detroit for a new academic medical center, affordable housing in partnership with the Detroit Pistons, a neurofibromatosis institute, and a research building that focuses on health disparities.

“I believe that higher education does exist to address society’s greatest challenges. I believe that too many people lack access to health and healing and hope. And I believe that the solution to providing what people deserve is bringing together the strengths of a university to bear in solving the health needs of our nation and world and, particularly, in addressing the health disparities that persist,” he said.
