    Investing for Good: Southwestern Medical Foundation's Financial Strategy
    2025/06/26

    How do we ensure that there is funding to advance medicine? It starts bold vision and is catalyzed by the generosity of donors, but sustaining support for the critical work of our health care leaders requires expertise in stewarding those donations within an investment portfolio.
