Message from James Franco

Greetings,

As the proud parent of Tyler Franco — a fourth-year osteopathic medical student at PNWU – I am honored to welcome you to the new PNWU Student Families Program.

As I watch my son’s journey, I am inspired and astounded by the high calling that he has chosen and is working so hard to attain. Tyler’s commitment will go on to impact many people throughout his life and career, and I am honored to play a role in that journey for him and his classmates as a member of PNWU’s Student Families Program. As a dad, I know that my support is crucial for my son, not only because it may help him to realize his dream, but because it may play even a small part in someday changing the life of one of his future patients. I feel particularly fortunate to see Tyler’s mission playing out at PNWU, especially after having seen the facilities and meeting some of the staff.

Seeing the atmosphere that surrounds my son at PNWU has helped me realize that my role as a parent is pivotal. PNWU’s professors contribute more than just class time to our loved ones; they express genuine passion for their development as future physicians. You’ll come to realize that the medical education at PNWU is beyond that of a “typical” medical school, and much of that is as a result of the personal involvement of seemingly everyone connected to PNWU.

In recognition of this outstanding display of genuine devotion, I’ve chosen to include PNWU as a focus and benefactor of our Tax Planning and Estate Planning practice in Southern California. It gives me great pleasure to be able to support PNWU for its role in preparing our loved ones as they embark on a lifetime of improving the lives of others through their medical practices.

The PNWU Student Families Program offers an opportunity for you to connect and engage with PNWU in supporting your child in a variety of meaningful ways. Your participation will help to ensure that you can celebrate the monumental milestones and astounding accomplishments to come, from the first day on campus to your loved one’s last step across the graduation stage as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

Welcome to the PNWU family!

Sincerely,
James Franco, EA
