MLK ► Continued from Page 1 He added, "The primary focus is to educate ourselves, non-mi-nority students, faculty and staff about the dismal state of ^healthcare for minorities while simultaneously providing them with information they could use to correct the situation." Although the week has been well underway with speakers such as Dr. Clive Callendar, the founder of the National Minority Organ/ Tissue Transplant Education Program at Howard University and Dr. Elena Rios, president of the National Hispanic Medical Association, the event many are waiting to attend is the 34 ,h annual lUPUIdinnerhonoringDr. King.
