Daniel and Pamella DeVos believe every individual can achieve great things and seek to invest in areas—like higher education—that provide a platform for people to reach their fullest potential. Their gift to the Center for Interprofessional Health is an investment in both the students at Grand Valley and the future of West Michigan. The innovative and collaborative approach to learning taught in this building equips graduates to provide world-class health care in our region and beyond for generations to come.
