Dr. R. Lee Clark

Dr. Clark formerly worked at the School of Aviation Medicine before being recruited as the new director of M.D. Anderson. His perception of fighting cancer was filled with hope and peace. Clark desired for cancer patients to be seen as people who, despite being sick, retained their identities. They were human beings and should be treated with dignity, rather than be seen as walking diseases. | Date: October, 1969 | Source:
