Legacy of W.H. Gates Sr. Institute
Honoring William H. Gates Sr.
William H. Gates Sr. has many profound legacies, but the one that resonates most with us is his investment in the vision that created the Gates Institute at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health within the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health.
A philanthropist, lawyer, and humanitarian, Mr. Gates Sr. had a profound influence in championing causes related to global equity and campaigns to address vaccine-preventable diseases, reduce infant mortality, promote reproductive health, and build schools.
