In February, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, an economic stimulus package that included $10.4 billion to the National Institutes of Health for biomedical research and infrastructure. Much has been written about this infusion of money for medical research and its potential economic effect. You may wonder what it means for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine and for the communities we serve.
