Drug Companies and Hospitals Support an Institute to Honor Sen. Kennedy
January 20, 2009
A nonprofit educational institute in Boston that will honor the career of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, is benefiting from donations by drug companies, hospitals, and insurance firms, according to The Boston Globe.
The donors, which include the biotechnology firm Amgen and the hospital corporation Partners Healthcare, are helping to raise $20-million for the project. Senator Kennedy, who was diagnosed last year with a malignant brain tumor, has long championed health-care issues during his Senate career.
