Global Health in Washington State SEATTLE, WA (KPLU) - President Bush is in Africa, where he's promoting work being done there to improve basic health. A lot of that is made possible by organizations based in Washington State. The topic will bring some of the world's leading experts to Tacoma, where Pacific Lutheran University's Wang Center opens an international symposium this evening (Thursday) on advances in global health. KPLU Health & Science reporter Gary Davis spoke with one of the symposium's featured speakers: Scott Jackson of Seattle-based PATH, a local leader in the field with offices in 20 countries. Jackson says the state has become synonymous with global health.
