Paul G. Rogers Honored Bldg. 1 Plaza Dedicated to 'Mr. Health' By Rich McManus
At the direction of Congress, NIH on June 12 dedicated a newly
decorated plaza in front of Bldg. 1 in honor of former Rep. Paul G.
Rogers, who represented Florida in the House of Representatives for
24 years before retiring in 1979 as chair of the House subcommittee
on health and the environment. The only outdoor honor for a
lawmaker on a campus studded with buildings named for politicians,
the plaza was embraced by the honoree himself as conjoining
longtime interests in health and the environment; Rogers is as well
remembered for legislation mandating clean air and safe drinking
water as he is for backing the National Cancer Act, Heart, Lung and
Blood Act, the Health Manpower Training Act, and a host of other
keynote laws promoting health.
