I've always thought that Duquesne was ignoring part of its original mission and charter going back to Fr. Hehir and the rapid growth to include programs such as pharmacy by not establishing a medical school.  Duquesne could have been at the center of a Catholic University Health Care System similar to Detroit Mercy had they done so earlier.  This would have prevented the near monopoly the UPMC had when they forced our St. Francis Hospital, Divine Providence and the rest and would obviously included Mercy next door and extending the campus further towards Oakland.
AHN, thankfully survived but both they and UPMC reinvest more of their money as corporate giants rather than following the original mission of Mercy, DP, and St. Francis.  Oh well...

I just wonder if this pandemic is going to hold up both the COOP and the new Medical School building.
