A Message from the Executive Vice PresidentTransforming Health and Healing is both the vision and the promise of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center. It means pioneering discoveries that advance our understanding of disease prevention and treatment, preparing the next genera-tion of health professionals to save and improve lives in com-munities worldwide, and continuously improving the quality of care for our patients. Some of the recent accomplishments made possible by our collaborators, trustees, donors, and friends include the following: n Emory School of Medicine opened a new, state-of-the-art education building that enabled inauguration of a completely revamped medical curriculum.n We recently expanded our work in clinical trials to increase access to new treatments. These efforts received a major boost from a $31 million NIH grant to help us create a clinical research partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine, Georgia Tech, and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. In cancer, we worked with community partners to implement the first state-wide clinical trial for patients with breast can-cer. Meanwhile, early-stage clinical trials of an AIDS vaccine developed at Yerkes National Primate Research Center and the Emory Vaccine Center are under way. n In its first year of existence, Emory’s Global Health Institute helped fund eight projects in low-resource countries, ranging from a drug discovery program in South Africa to a diabetes intervention in India.n The Center for Health Discovery and Well-Being, part of the Emory/Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute, opened at our midtown campus to provide participants personalized health programs designed to address individual health risks.n Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing was one of 15 nursing schools in the nation tapped by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to develop quality and safety education curricula as part of a new model for nursing education.n With a recent $50 million investment from its family namesake, Rollins School of Public Health will break ground this spring on a complex that will double its current space and accelerate teaching and research in global and predictive health, infectious disease, nutrition, cancer, and diabetes.

A glimpse at these milestones and others throughout this book will show how we are bringing to reality our vision to transform health and healing.

The Robert W. Woodruff Health Sciences Center (WHSC) encompasses components of Emory University responsible for education of health professionals, research affecting health and illness, patient care, and policies for preven-tion and treatment of disease. The WHSC’s namesake, the legendary leader of The Coca-Cola Company, was a man whose vision and generosity left a lasting imprint on Emory and on Atlanta.

In addition to the WHSC components listed in the fol-lowing pages, Emory University includes Emory College, Oxford College, a graduate school of arts and sciences, and professional schools of business, law, and theology. The stu-dent body, including the WHSC, totals 12,570. Faculty total 3,077 and employees, 22,404 (including faculty). At $5.6 bil-lion (as of fiscal year 2007), Emory’s endowment ranks 17th among universities in the United States.

Many of the WHSC facilities are located on or near Emory’s main campus, 631 acres along the Clifton Corridor, 15 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Emory’s Briarcliff Campus, 1 mile west of the main campus, is the site of EMTech, a business incubator developed with Georgia Tech. Emory’s Clairmont campus, 1 mile east of the main campus, is the site of residential facilities for patients’ families.

Faculty and staff perform the WHSC’s core missions—teaching, research, and patient care—at various hospitals owned by or affiliated with Emory and at a number of Emory Healthcare sites and affiliates throughout the city and state. Physicians in Emory Healthcare and affiliate hos-pitals are responsible for 4.4 million patient visits a year.

Comprehensive FiguresThe Woodruff Health Sciences Center’s annual budget is $2.2 billion, and its patient care component, Emory Healthcare, provided $53.6 million in charity care in fis-cal year 2007. Research funding for 2006–2007 was $358.7 million. Faculty: 2,334, plus 1,556 adjunct or volunteer faculty and collaborative scientists. Students and medi-cal residents in training: 4,351, including 434 students in the Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences and 533 postdoctoral fellows. Employees: 14,544, including Emory Healthcare. Total employees, including faculty: 16,878. A partnership with Hospital Corporation of America and a joint venture with Emory-Adventist Hospital bring the WHSC’s total hospital beds to 1,708, total annual hospital admissions to 56,503 and total outpa-tient visits to 2.4 million.

Woodruff Health Sciences Center ComponentsThe Woodruff Health Sciences Center includes Emory University School of Medicine, Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, Rollins School of Public Health, Yerkes National Primate Research Center, and Emory Healthcare, the WHSC’s system of clinical operations.

Emory University School of Medicine (founded 1854)Thomas J. Lawley, MD, DeanEmory University School of Medicine is ranked among the nation’s finest institutions for education, biomedical research, and patient care. The school had 43 applications in 2007 for each of its first-year positions, and its students perform extremely well compared with their peers at other schools. In 2007, for example, the pass rate for first-time takers of part 1 of the National Board Exam was 99%. On graduation, almost half of the school’s students pursue resi-dencies in primary care.

Student totals for the entering class of 2011 increased by 15% to 133. This increase was made possible by the opening of a new medical school building in 2007, which enabled implementation of a completely revised medical curriculum. The school has a total of 480 medical students and trains more than 1,100 residents and fellows in 80 accredited pro-grams. The school has 66 MD/PhD students in one of the 40 Medical Scientist Training Programs sponsored by the NIH and 454 postdoctoral fellows. Some of these MD/PhD students are in a joint program with Georgia Institute of Technology, with which the medical school shares a biomed-ical engineering department ranked second in the country in 2007 by U.S. News & World Report. The medical school has 14 MD/MPH and two MD/MBA students. More than 240 medical school faculty also train predoctoral biosci-ence researchers in one or more of the eight programs of the university’s Graduate Division of Biological and Biomedical Sciences.

Faculty in five health professions programs train 420 students. These include a physician assistant program ranked third in the nation by U.S. News & World Report and a physical therapy doctoral program ranked eighth.

The medical school’s faculty received $301.3 million in sponsored research in 2007, including $36.5 million received by medical faculty at Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Ranked 18th nationally in NIH dollars received, the school is one of the fastest-growing recipients of NIH awards in the country. The school has 2,053 full- and part-time faculty and 995 volunteer faculty.

School of Medicine, continued

Physician faculty in Emory’s own hospitals, affiliated teach-ing hospitals, and outpatient venues are responsible for more than 3.6 million patient visits annually.

The school has 13,287 alumni (5,221 medical school and 8,280 residency alumni), and one of every four physi-cians in Georgia was trained at Emory. In addition to the school’s regular education programs, 7,113 physicians and other health care professionals came to Emory last year to participate in continuing medical education.

In addition to Georgia Tech and other research institu-Tech and other research institu-tions throughout the state and nation, the school main-tains strong ties with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta through a joint venture agreement.

Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (1905)Marla E. Salmon, ScD, RN, FAAN, DeanThe Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing produces nursing leaders who are transforming health care through science, education, practice, and policy worldwide. It has 207 baccalaureate, 194 master’s, and 12 doctoral students as well as six postdoctoral fellows. Students who complete their undergraduate degree go on to become national and international leaders in patient care, public health, gov-ernment, and education. The school offers a dual-degree program with several colleges, providing undergraduates with a strong background in liberal arts and nursing. The school’s master’s program offers opportunities to special-ize in advanced nursing practice in a number of clinical settings and roles. Graduates are qualified to seek certifica-tion as nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, and/or clinical nurse specialists. A dual-degree option is available with the Rollins School of Public Health, allowing students to graduate with master’s degrees in both nursing and public health. In this program, students can major in international nursing, a rare offering in the United States or around the world. The school’s PhD program is focused on generating new knowledge to improve health and health care quality, with emphasis on research on bio-behavioral determinants of health, improving global health, and enhancing health systems.

In 2007, the school received $3.3 million in research funding. Nationally, the school ranks in the top 10 among private schools in research funding from the NIH. It cur-rently is ranked 26th overall by U.S. News & World Report, which also ranked the school’s nurse midwifery graduate

5

program eighth in the nation. Major programs include the Center for Research on Symptoms, Symptom Interactions, and Health Outcomes; the Lillian Carter Center for International Nursing; and the Fuld Fellowship, which targets second-career students with a special interest in serving vulnerable populations. The nursing school has 65 faculty and is affiliated with more than 300 clinical sites and 25 sites for community service learning. Additional learn-ing sites are available, including an alternative spring break in four countries and a multiuniversity, multidiscipline collaborative summer program with Georgia migrant farm workers. The school has approximately 10,000 graduates.

Rollins School of Public Health (1990)James W. Curran, MD, MPH, DeanThe Rollins School of Public Health has 781 master’s degree students; 121 PhD students who choose from degree options in behavioral sciences and health education, biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental and occupational health, health policy and management, and global health; and 21 postdoctoral fellows. The school has approximately 4,500 alumni.

A leader in interdisciplinary studies, the school offers dual-degree programs with medicine, nursing, health profes-sions, business, and law. Master’s degrees also are available with a concentration in clinical research. The Career MPH is a distance-learning program for mid-career professionals who wish to pursue a degree while employed.

In 2007, the school recorded $54.7 million in research funding. These funds support research efforts in cancer epidemiology, nutrition, environmental and occupational health, HIV/AIDS education and prevention, addictive behaviors, youth violence, antibiotic resistance, micronutri-ent malnutrition, diabetes and obesity, and health care costs and allocation of health resources.

Many of the 180 full-time faculty and more than 250 adjunct faculty in six academic departments are linked by appointments, shared programs, or research grants with the CDC, The Carter Center, the American Cancer Society, CARE, the Arthritis Foundation, the Task Force for Child Survival and Development, and state and local public health agencies. Through these partnerships and in its role as a center for international health research and training, the school helps make Atlanta the public health capital of the world. The school is ranked 7th among peer institutions by U.S. News & World Report.

Yerkes National Primate Research Center (1930)Stuart M. Zola, PhD, Director One of eight national primate research centers funded by the NIH, Yerkes National Primate Research Center is dedi-cated to advancing scientific understanding and to improv-ing human health and well-being. Supported by $42.6 mil-lion in funding, Yerkes’ research program includes approxi-mately 115 projects. Studies involve 3,400 nonhuman pri-mates, which provide a critical link between research with small laboratory animals and the clinical trials performed in humans. Approximately 1,150 of the animals are at the main center on the Emory campus and another 2,250 are at a 117-acre satellite facility in Lawrenceville, Georgia. In addition, the center has some 7,000 rodents in its research vivariums.

In addition to 331 staff members, Yerkes is home to 32 faculty scientists, 113 affiliate and 41 collaborative fac-ulty, and 74 research associates from Emory and other institutions. More than 150 graduate and undergraduate students participate in research and educational programs at Yerkes, including 52 postdoctoral fellows.

Yerkes is making landmark discoveries in microbiol-ogy and immunology, neuroscience, psychobiology, and sensory-motor systems. One of the center’s primary goals, working with the Emory Vaccine Center, is to develop an AIDS vaccine to combat the global epidemic now affecting more than 42 million people.

Other significant research programs are seeking ways to increase understanding of progressive illnesses such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, unlock the secrets of memory, treat drug addiction, determine behavioral effects of hormone replacement therapy, address vision disorders, advance knowledge about the evolutionary links between biology and behavior, and interpret brain activity through imaging. Yerkes is the only U.S. primate center to have on-site MRI, PET, and cyclotron facilities.

Collaboration is key to Yerkes research. At the Living Links Center, scientists collaborate to study the animal roots of human social behaviors, such as cooperation, affili-ation, and reconciliation. Yerkes researchers who also are members of the Center for Behavioral Neuroscience (CBN) collaborate with scientists from the CBN’s consortium of eight Atlanta-based institutions in research and education.

Because of their similarity to humans in genetic makeup, behavior, and organ-system function, nonhu-man primates provide irreplaceable opportunities to better understand, prevent, and treat human disease.

Woodruff Health Sciences Center Impact on Georgia As a dynamic destination for education, a robust research institution, and the largest, most comprehensive health care provider in the state, the Woodruff Health Sciences Center (WHSC) impacts Georgia in a variety of ways.n It helps make Emory University the largest employer in

DeKalb County and the largest private employer in the 20-county metro Atlanta area.

n With $2.2 billion in operating expenses, the WHSC’s annual economic impact on metro Atlanta is estimated at $4.8 billion.

n Two major new buildings opened in 2007, including a 162,000-square-foot medical school building and a 110-bed joint-venture hospital off campus (Emory Johns Creek Hospital). Emory also acquired a 120-bed hospital, christened Emory University Hospital Northlake, also off campus. Construction planned for the coming decade calls for new research buildings, a new public health building, a Yerkes Field Station facility, and new clinic and hospital space, including expansion of facilities on Emory’s campus in midtown Atlanta.

n Emory is a member of the Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), a partnership of business, research universities, and state government that fosters economic development in the state. Through the GRA, the state invests in research in the WHSC in molecular screening for new drugs, nano-technology, vaccines, genomics, biomedical and tissue engineering, cancer, imaging, and neuroscience.

n The WHSC attracted $358.7 million in research funds last year. Major recent federal grants include $32.8 million to establish a National Center of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance, $31 million to fund the Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute to spur new treatments for patients, $25.5 million to lead a local com-ponent of the landmark National Children’s Study, $12.5 million to the Winship Cancer Institute to fund research in head and neck cancer, and $10 million to Yerkes National Primate Research Center to compare aging-related changes in human and nonhuman primates.

n The WHSC is a major player in technology transfer, with eight licensed therapeutic products in the marketplace in addition to 23 in various stages of development or approval. Emory has launched 43 start-up companies over the past decade, some with help from EMTech, a biotech incubator developed with Georgia Tech.

14

WHSC impact on Georgia, continued

n The Winship Cancer Institute is a key participant in the Georgia Cancer Coalition, a statewide program working to make the latest advances in cancer care available to all Georgians and investing in research at Emory. Winship also works with the Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education to partner with community-based physi-cians to make more clinical trials of new treatments avail-able to patients throughout the state.

n The WHSC is the lead partner in the Southeastern Center for Emerging Biologic Threats, a regional consortium addressing natural and human-caused biologic threats, such as West Nile virus and pandemic flu. The WHSC also helps lead Emory’s Office of Critical Event Preparedness and Response, created last year to improve the university’s ability to deliver a coordinated and effective response to catastrophic events.

n The Emory Vaccine Center is one of the largest academic vaccine centers in the world, with scientists working to develop vaccines for AIDS, malaria, hepatitis C, avian flu, and other infectious diseases. Emory’s Hope Clinic, which conducts clinical trials for promising vaccines, is part of the premier network in the country for HIV vaccine prevention trials. The Vaccine Center recently partnered with the International Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology to establish a vaccine center in New Delhi, India, to develop vaccines against infectious diseases dis-proportionately affecting the developing world.

n Emory provides medical direction of Grady Health System’s Ponce Center, one of the largest, most compre-hensive AIDS treatment centers in the country, and was recently designated a primary site in the nation’s premier NIH-funded clinical trials network.

n WHSC’s physicians provide $53.6 million annually in charity care through Emory Healthcare and $26.3 mil-lion in uncompensated care at Grady Memorial Hospital. Through Emory-Children’s Center, Emory also is the preeminent provider of specialty care to indigent children in Georgia. Nursing faculty and students support major volunteer efforts for homeless Atlantans, migrant workers, and people with AIDS. Public health faculty and students influence health policy affecting the community’s most economically vulnerable, and they partner with the state Division of Public Health to train workers in dealing with infectious diseases and to help prevent cancer, HIV infec-tion, and adolescent pregnancy.
