The Center mourns its beloved founding director, E. Richard Brown
It is with great sadness that we share the news that the Center's founding director, Dr. E. Richard Brown, has died unexpectedly.
Rick was giving a talk in Kentucky last week when he suffered a devastating stroke; he was 70.
Rick Brown was a beloved teacher, highly accomplished researcher and a formidable advocate for health. We are grateful that we were able to celebrate Rick's lifetime of professional achievements at a February 8 symposium on health care reform, a topic about which he was so passionate.
Over the coming days we'll share more about the illustrious career of Rick Brown, and details of a memorial service as they become available. We will also provide information on where to send donations in Rick's memory.
Sincerely,
Gerald F. Kominski
Director UCLA Center for Health Policy Research
