It is with great sorrow that we note the unexpected passing of Dr. Steven Banks on August 10, 2007. Steve's unique contribution to the field of health services research, to UMMS, and to researchers, providers, and consumer/survivor/recovering persons across the country is without equal. His influence, as a professional colleague and great friend, is extraordinary, and will continue to guide us in our work and in our daily lives.
