The L.D. Britt, MD, Scholarship Fund at Eastern Virginia Medical School has become a permanent source of support for promising minority medical students thanks to contributions from the community and a recent donation from the EVMS Foundation.
The EVMS Foundation's contribution, combined with $682,000 raised from supporters throughout Hampton Roads by the L.D. Britt, MD, Scholarship Committee, brings the fund's total to $900,000 and enables it to operate as a self-sustaining, endowed scholarship. One minority EVMS student in each year of the four-year medical program will receive a L.D. Britt, MD, Scholarship. The amount of support will be based on the fund's principal balance. At this point, each scholarship is expected to be $10,000.

Obesity is 22 percent lower among children who are breastfed.
That's one of the take-home messages in a report released in May by first lady Michelle Obama and the White House Task Force on Childhood Obesity.
You can read more about efforts to reverse America's obesity epidemic in a recent Virginian-Pilot article on the subject and in the Spring/Summer issue of EVMS Magazine, available June 7.
