Roundup: LLUH in the news

Loma Linda University Health often appears in local, national, and international news. Here are links to a few stories from the past couple of weeks. 

Did you know an LLU alum was the personal physician to presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama? See these reports in the Orlando Business Journal.

An LLU student has helped develop an online database that catalogs and maps pterosaur fossil specimens. The pterosaur is an extinct flying vertebrate reptile. See the CBS News report.
