I believe that Mr. Blausen is the best choice to be an ambassador and public servant for MAHA because of his perseverance, his contribution to the field of medical illustration and his indefatigable need to help others. I have worked with Mr. Blausen for over 23 years. As Blausen Medical's COO, and his friend, I have witnessed his integrity and unwavering passion for his field. I strongly believe he is a prime candidate and an upstanding citizen. Mr. Blausen started his company, Blausen Medical Communications, Inc. in 1991. For over 30 years, he has faithfully developed a vast library of 3D medical illustrations and animations. Ever mindful of the plight of students and patients and the lack of education in underserved countries, he made his library of content accessible to the public on www.blausen.com, and the content has been viewed in over 180 countries. His philanthropic efforts did not end there. He donated his library to The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, The Pennsylvania State University, The University of Texas and the Health Museum in Houston. In addition, Bruce has served as a mentor to several students, has trained multiple interns and has funded college tuition for employees. He was very proud to have his mentee graduate from high school with a full scholarship to Texas A&M University. Blausen is an inspiration to the field of medical illustration. He would like to make his library available to the American public and feels everyone deserves to have access to this educational content.
1) Is Competent ...Bruce has over 30 years of experience within the industry. He has two undergraduate degrees in Art and Science and has a Master's degree in medical and biological illustration from Johns Hopkins Medical University. The Johns Hopkins University has adopted the Blausen library and integrated it into their health system, which speaks volumes on the accuracy and quality of the content. His won the 2014 Penn State Alumni Fellow Award and the 2023 Johns Hopkins Distinguished Alumnus Award.
2) Is Honest...I've witnessed many occasions where Bruce has discounted fees for clients, provided refunds for those who overpaid, and provided employees with more benefits than required.
4) Has Integrity ...Bruce came from humble beginnings and had to struggle to attend college and pay tuition. In return, he has mentored many students and employees providing college tuition and guidance for promising individuals. He has also helped many less fortunate individuals with funds for Christmas, living expenses, etc. He never expects repayment. Bruce is always generous to his friends and family and will offer assistance to homeless individuals he encounters. He has given back to Penn State University, Johns Hopkins University, The Health Museum of Houston and The University of Texas by donating his vast library for public education purposes.
5) Has Courage and a proven record...As the CEO of his own company, he has persevered with utmost courage for over 30 years. He has been innovative and pivoted many times to keep the company running. Many clients return for repeat projects because they trust the quality, accuracy and integrity of the Blausen brand.
