Highlighted Publication

Strong Medicine: The Piedmont Triad Research Park Expansion Initiative 2002–2012

This narrative provides a firsthand description of the reasoning, events, complexities, and critical engagements of Wake Forest University Health Sciences’ new research and medical education campus downtown, which led to a two-hundred-plus- acre Piedmont Triad Research Park expansion and energized the economy with the simultaneous transformation of Winston-Salem’s once-blighted entry to its eastern downtown.
