Abraham Lincoln once said, "I'm a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts."

Dr. Rahn, your vision for MCG will result in enhanced medical education, increased clinical research, and continuous improvements in the delivery of quality health care. We champion your cause, and wholeheartedly support your efforts to make the Medical College of Georgia a premier health sciences university.

I have a deep appreciation and respect for the caliber of leadership that Dr. Rahn brings to MCG. He is recognized as a leader in health care, who has what it take to get the job done. Dr. Rahn possess the vision and know-how to lead this medical school...and Augusta into the future.

As we climb further into the 21st  century, it is Dr. Daniel Rahn who will be guided by an unrelenting belief that Augusta should be the health care mecca of the south.

The bottom line: Augusta needs MCG and Dr. Rahn. And what Augusta needs is what Dr. Rahn has - Vision, Courage, and Leadership.
