I am very happy to hear that UCLA Anderson is partnered with Johnson & Johnson to promote health literacy. Knowledge of health issues is one of the most important things in the world. With my dad being a doctor and my mom being a nurse I have often wondered how business skills could benefit the well being of people and this blog post shows exactly what the power of business can do to transform health. Keep up the good work!
