Home Biography Videos Support the Philip R. Lee Fellowship
Phil’s personal achievements in health policy and health are magnified many times over by those of his trainees and mentees who number in the hundreds around the globe. And at his core, it was his personal warmth and caring – the kindness, support and nurturing he provided over generations – that is truly his legacy.

Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies
