[Phar26] Celebrating Innovation: Dr. Jonas Salk’s Lifesaving Legacy

[CPHS Student Affairs]

In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month, we spotlight Dr. Jonas Salk — the brilliant mind behind the first effective polio vaccine.

A physician and medical researcher, Dr. Salk’s groundbreaking work helped eliminate one of the most feared diseases of the 20th century. His decision not to patent the vaccine ensured it remained widely accessible — a powerful reminder that public health innovation should serve humanity.

🧪 Why this matters for CPHS students:
Whether you're studying pharmacy, public health, or physician assistant practice, Dr. Salk’s legacy reflects the ethical and societal impact of scientific discovery.

Let’s honor the Jewish American voices that have shaped — and continue to shape — the health sciences.
