Mr. Fuqua, whose cumulative giving ranks him as one of the top 100 philanthropists in the U.S., has a long history of supporting health and education in Atlanta and beyond. Mr. Fuqua has again stepped forward with true generosity by providing leadership and focusing attention on an area of major public health concern for our country. The primary objective of the Center is to increase the access of older adults to treatment. The Fuqua Center also will develop a web site to inform both medical professionals and the public about the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Although the aging process is marked by change, mental and emotional health need not alter for the worse.
Depression is a treatable illness.
By increasing the public's understanding of depression and clinicians' willingness to diagnose it, as well as improving access to treatment, more older adults will receive the care they need to live happier and healthier lives. All Rights Reserved.
