Strong Heart Program - Preventive Cardeology

In 1910, Abraham Flexner, under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancment of Teaching, published a report on medical schools that led to a revolution in how medicine was taught throughout the country. By 1920, Flexner approached Dr. Benjamin Rush Rhees, then president of the University of Rochester, with the idea of founding a medical school at the university that would utilize his revolutionary ideals in medical education. Flexner and Rhees then approached George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, to aid back the idea financially.
