(May 2, 2011) The School of Medicine and its neighbors on the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora contribute to health care, education, research and the community—and also to the state's economy. In the last 10 years, state support for the medical school has fallen by nearly half. In that same period, private support of the medical school has picked up some of the slack, increasing from nearly $20 million a year to more than $28 million, according to the CU Foundation.
