Dr. Richard Hoffman
Dr. Richard Hoffman was an early advocate for the Colorado School of Public Health. After providing initial support for the school, he felt that a pressing need was to support students who would address health disparities in their future. He wanted those students to become public health leaders who could connect with different populations that carried the greatest disease burden.
Over the many years of Dr. Hoffman's involvement with the school, he has generously established multiple scholarships currently available to our students:
The Hamman-Hoffman Scholarship
The Hoffman Communicable Disease Scholarship
The Hoffman Firearms Injury Prevention Scholarship
The Hoffman Masters Scholarship
I found that doctors were training to identify the need for treatment and they were paid a stated amount to provide treatment. They did pretty well, but this was their financial orientation. They received no compensation for preventing anything. I thought we needed some interest in prevention and that is what interested me in public health and that is why I helped to organize the Colorado School of Public Health.
