In creating the fellowship, Mr. Villers aspired to develop a network of young leaders who share a passion for health care justice. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to health care justice work following their year as a fellow. Additionally, in order to encourage the

development of future leaders, Villers Fellows must commit to mentoring at least one person over the course of their careers.
