Founded in 1828, Georgia Health Sciences University is home to the Medical College of Georgia, the 13th-oldest continuously operating medical school in the United States and the third-oldest in the Southeast.

The Georgia Health Sciences University traces its roots to 1822, when Dr. Milton Antony led a group of Augusta physicians to establish the Medical Society of Augusta. Dr. Antony further advanced this initiative to upgrade the training of physicians when he spearheaded the State Board of Medical Examiners to regulate medical practice.

Team Draft, an initiative of the CDFF launched by Draft and his late wife Keasha during Keasha’s year-long battle with Stage IV Lung Cancer, is leading a national campaign to change the face of lung cancer by shattering the misconception that lung cancer is a “smoker’s disease.”
