 âMeharry is a private institution with a very public mission. Most academic
   medical centers derive a lot of money from their private practice. We
provide about $26 million of medical care that we never get a nickel for; we
were never designed to be a big juggernaut clinical enterprise.â â Dr. Wayne
    J. Riley, president and CEO of [19]Meharry Medical College School of
                                 Dentistry.


At Meharry, M.D. means âmake a differenceâ

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) â From the cradle to the grave, if you are
   African-American or any other racial minority, you are less likely to live a
   long, healthy life. [20]Meharry, a United Methodist-related medical, dental
   and research university, is the nationâs largest private, independent,
   historically black academic health center. In the first of a six-part
   series, UMNS reporter Kathy Gilbert explains how Meharry sees its mission.
