"I had a very close and personal relationship to both Levi Watkins and Elijah Saunders essentially throughout my career and their lives. Both made me aware of the tremendous need for changing our thinking -- and more importantly our actions and commitment -- to advance the Black biomedical community in this country, as well as the prevention and care of Black patients who are so at risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke." – Dr. Myron Weisfeldt
