School of Medicine Loses Benefactor
The Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine faculty, staff and students
mourned the loss of the school’s namesake, Joan C. Edwards when she lost
a courageous battle with cancer on May 7, 2006. She and her late husband
Jimmy left a legacy for Huntington and the entire Tri-State by funding the
Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center. The Edwards Comprehensive
Cancer Center opened January 9, 2006, and provides state-of-the-art
cancer care for adult patients to children.
B
orn in London, England, in 1918
and raised in New Orleans, Joan
Edwards cut short a promising career
as a jazz singer to move to Huntington
in 1937 with her new husband, James
F. Edwards.
During her 54-year marriage,
Mrs. Edwards became a partner in
her husband’s business enterprises,
including
racing
thoroughbreds
internationally and working with
contractors and crews to revamp
the couple’s four horse racing tracks.
After assisting her husband with the
Edwards family’s mattress business,
NAMACO Industries, she ultimately
became its chief executive officer,
overseeing three factories.
After James Edwards’ death
in 1991, she was instrumental in
implementing his vision to create a
cancer center at Cabell Huntington
Hospital, medical student scholarships
at Marshall University, a conservatory
at the Huntington Museum of Art,
and a retirement living center through
the West Virginia Diocese of the
Episcopal Church.
A noted philanthropist, Mrs.
Edwards personally donated more
than $22 million to Marshall
University and its medical school,
which was named in her honor in
2000. Her individual contributions to
the university have supported growth
in its athletics and arts programs, the
creation of a jazz studies program, the
establishment of the Susan Edwards
Drake Alzheimer’s Care Center, the
creation of a children’s cancer center
within the Edwards Comprehensive
Cancer Center, and the establishment
of an operating endowment for the
cancer center.
“Joan Edwards was a glamorous and
genteel person -- charitable, visionary,
gracious, sophisticated, insightful
and very, very intelligent,” said Dr.
Charles H. McKown, Jr., Marshall’s
vice president for health sciences and
dean of the Joan C. Edwards School of
Medicine.
“One of her passions was good
health, and with virtually all of her
passions she had one significant
perspective: to focus her resources
to provide long-lasting, far-reaching
benefits,” he said. “In health, she made
her impact known through Marshall’s
medical school and the cancer center,
which has brought to our region a new
level of care for malignant illness. The
people who will benefit most from her
efforts are not necessarily those of
us here today but our children, our
grandchildren and many generations
to come.”
Mrs. Edwards received the
Regent’s Award of the American
College of Healthcare Executives
for her contributions to health care.
She also was inducted into Marshall’s
Lewis College of Business Hall of
Fame, made an honorary alumnus
of the School of Medicine, awarded
the Doctor of Humane Letters degree
from Marshall, and inducted into the
Huntington Wall of Fame.

HAPPENINGS
Clinical Education & Outreach Center
Valuable Addition to SOM
The Clinical Education &
Outreach Center is another major
step forward for the School of
Medicine. The $22.5 million, 80,000
square-foot center will house muchneeded teaching facilities and clinical
education clinics. The center was
developed as part of Marshall’s Robert
C. Byrd Center for Rural Health.
“Over time, we will be able to
train 50 percent more doctors,” said
Jim Schneider, associate dean of
the medical school. “This is vitally
important considering the age and
health demographics of the region.
Our population is becoming older and
sicker, with an abundance of chronic
health problems such as diabetes, heart
and lung disease. We have a need for
more cardiac and pulmonary care
specialists in southern West Virginia
and surrounding areas.”
The ground floor will house a
state-of-the-art medical education
teaching facility, including a 124seat tiered classroom, several smaller
classrooms and student study areas. “A
Clinical Skills Laboratory will allow
students to work with computer-based
models and live-simulated patients,”
Schneider added. “This revolutionary
technology will better prepare them
for clinical practice.”
Three floors of patient care and
clinical education space will allow for
up to 75,000 patient visits per year.
Services will include general internal
medicine as well as endocrinology,
gastroenterology, infectious diseases,
pulmonary and rheumatology. The
Diabetes Center and the Hanshaw
Geriatric Center will relocate to the
facility as well. The top floor will
house a Heart Institute, combining the
resources of the cardiology, pulmonary
and cardio-thoracic surgery faculty.
The center, which will employ
more than 50 physicians and 150 staff,
will generate more than $10 million
in direct economic activity annually.
This project is made possible through
Sen. Robert C. Byrd’s efforts in
securing two separate federal grants
through the U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services.
“We are very appreciative of
Senator Byrd’s involvement in
providing this funding,” Schneider
added. “We still need to raise money
for teaching materials in the Clinical
Skills Lab. A number of naming
opportunities are available in our
Bricks and Mortar Program. The
Education Center, including the
Clinical Skills Lab, conference rooms
and each of the three clinic floors are
available for naming.”
The clinic is at the site of the
former Fairfield Stadium that opened
in 1928 and was the home of Marshall
football until the 1990 season. There
will be a plaque placed outside the
outreach center commemorating the
former stadium.
Construction of the center is
nearing completion and occupancy is
expected in May 2007.

Eduction & Outreach Center, please

of Development & Alumni Affairs at

Dr. Maurice and Mrs. Diane Mufson
Establish Award, Give Something Back
Long time supporters Dr. Maurice
and Diane Mufson have established
The Dr. Maurice A. and Diane W.
Mufson Award for the Joan C. Edwards
School of Medicine. The $10,000
expendable gift will be awarded at the
rate of $1,000 per year for the next 10
years to an entering medical student
beginning August 2007. “We want
to make it a little easier financially
for a deserving student,” the Mufsons
added. “The financial burden of
medical school is very high. This is
just a small way to help.”
“I have been a faculty member
since the school began in 1976,”
Mufson said. “For all of the support
Marshall University has given me over
the years, as well as the opportunity to
be a part of this medical community,
my wife and I felt we wanted to give
something back. We decided we
wanted to do something positive for
the School of Medicine.”
The Mufsons also established the
Dr. Maurice and Diane Mufson Award
in 1997 for an outstanding graduating
medical student who plans a career in
internal medicine.
In honor of Dr. Mufson’s longtime commitment to the medical
community and school, he will receive
the School of Medicine Alumni
Association’s honorary alumnus award
during Investiture on May 5.
Mufson, who in 1976 became
the first chair of the Department
of Medicine, now serves as chair
emeritus and is coordinator of research
in the Department of Medicine. A
native of Manhattan, he received his
Bachelor of Arts degree from Bucknell
University and his degree in Medicine
from New York University School of
Class of 2006 rewards excellence
through scholarship endowment
On behalf of the Class of 2006, the
class has endowed a scholarship in the
School of Medicine to be awarded for
the first time in Fall 2007 to a third year
medical student. In what is considered
Phase I of this project, the recipient
must have demonstrated excellence
in
scholarship,
professionalism,
leadership and service.
As the endowment grows and the
interest is great enough, the annual
scholarship will provide Littman
Cardiology III stethoscopes to every
incoming first
year
medical
school student.
“We felt this
could be a way
to demonstrate
to the faculty of
the School of
Medicine how much we appreciate
their hard work and commitment to
our education and future,” said Class
President Shane Wells, MD. “Also,
we wish to reward a student who is not
only excellent in academics but also
demonstrates qualities of a physician
worthy to serve the community. Our
profession is built on a foundation
of service to others. We need hard
working, innovative and dedicated
people to devote their lives to
improving mankind.”
Dr. Maurice A. & Mrs. Diane W. Mufson
Medicine. Diane Mufson, a native of
Long Beach, N.Y., is a psychologist
in private practice with Associates in
Psychology and Therapy.
Wells cites the hard work of Dr.
Albert Esposito who worked tirelessly
for more than two decades to improve
access to health care in Southern
West Virginia. “In spite of opposition
and frequent disappointment, Dr.
Esposito succeeded in bringing health
care to the region through the School
of Medicine in 1978. Because of this
accomplishment, we join a generation
of alumni who have gone before us to
spread the good name of the Marshall
University Joan C. Edwards School of
Medicine. Dr. Esposito understood the
importance of looking to the future
and paving the way for others.”
The other class officers are Drs.
Andrea Marcum, vice president;
Christopher Russell, treasurer; and
Robin Bush, secretary. The gift
was presented during graduation
ceremonies last May and it is the
first time that a graduating class
has endowed a scholarship at their
graduation.

Match Day 2006
Marshall’s medical graduates will
enter the fields of family practice
and obstetrics/gynecology at rates
well above the national average, and
the school is at a 3-year high in the
percentage of graduates staying in
West Virginia.
“These results look incredible
to me,” said Dr. Aaron McGuffin,
senior associate dean for medical
student education. “We’re putting our
graduates all over the country in great
institutions, and several excellent
students are staying here at Marshall
as well. More than 55 percent of our
students are going into primary care
specialties, and nearly half will be
practicing in West Virginia.”
Based on information released
March 16 by the National Resident
Matching
Program,
Marshall
graduates are entering OB/GYN at
nearly twice the national average
(9.3 percent vs. 5.3 percent), and
entering family practice at 1.3 times
the national average (16.3 percent
vs. 12.5 percent). When students
who obtained residencies outside
the national program are counted,
Marshall’s percentage in family
practice rises to 20 percent.
In addition to the 49 percent of
graduates staying in West Virginia,
students will be completing their
residencies at 20 institutions across the
United States, including Wake Forest,
Dartmouth and Johns Hopkins.

In Memoriam
Harts remember the School of Medicine in their estate
The Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine has received a generous gift from
the estate of Dr. Rinard Z. and Margaret Hart of Claremont, Calif., both
1942 graduates of Marshall College. The Harts both passed away during the
summer of 2006.
The gift will endow the Dr. Rinard Z. Hart and Margaret Ann Gibson
Hart Scholarship for the School of Medicine in honor of Linda S. Holmes
and her tenure as director of the Marshall University Alumni Association
from 1984 to 1998. Holmes is now director of development and alumni affairs
for the School of Medicine. The scholarship, which was realized through the
Harts’ life insurance plan, will be awarded to a deserving medical student to
be used for medical education expenses. It may be renewed for up to three
years.
The Hart’s bequest will also establish four other scholarships at Marshall
University: the William B. and Cora Alice Gibson Scholarship; the Rinard
Z. and Margaret Ann Gibson Hart Endowment for Erickson Alumni Center;
the John Frank Bartlett Scholarship in honor of the former dean of Arts and
Sciences; and The Kenneth Karl Loemker Scholarship, in honor of former
Marshall professor of psychology.
Dr. Hart, who practiced internal medicine in Claremont, was an avid
collector of rare books and had a deep interest in the culture and history
of the American West. Margaret shared his interest in rare books, but her
first love was the theatre. She was also involved in historical restorations in
the Claremont area. The Harts were members of the Heritage Society and
the John Marshall Society, both of which provide recognition to men and
women who make significant financial commitments and contributions to
the growth and development of Marshall.
“Rinard and Margaret Ann were fantastic individuals who loved life,
the arts and particularly Marshall University,” said Holmes. “I feel that my
life was enriched by having the honor and privilege of calling them friends
and maintaining contact with them over many years. The Harts embodied
what it is to be a true son and daughter of Marshall and their love of the
university will live on through their generous gifts of scholarships to their
beloved alma mater.”
The Harts are survived by three children, Pam Gares of Grimesland, N.C.; Martha Dees of City Island, N.Y.; and James Hart of Pomona, Calif.
Dr. Edward B. Hunter, Jr, Class of 1996, passed away on Wednesday,
November 29, 2006, at the Bluefield Regional Medical Center in Bluefield,
Va. He had been a resident of the Bluefield area since 1999 where he had a
family practice. Dr. Hunter was an avid outdoorsman and loved all types of
sports. He is survived by his wife Christina A. Hunter and two sons, Brian of
Maryland and Matthew of Washington, D.C.

as
president of

Alumni
Association
effective
Sept.
27,
Dr. Bradley J. Richardson 2006.
He
Class of 1993
replaces
Dr.
Mark
Sheridan who served for two years.
Richardson has a unique
background as a physician. A native
of Cross Lanes, he graduated from
West Virginia State College with
a teaching degree in biology and
chemistry. He taught school in the area
for 10 years, earning along the way a
master’s degree in education at West
Virginia University and a doctorate in
education at what is now the Marshall
University Graduate School. He even
worked for the State Department of
Education.
“While working in this last
administrative job, I realized it was just
not that exciting,” said Richardson. “I
had always wanted to go to medical
school but got sidetracked. I decided
this was the time.”
Richardson was accepted in
Marshall’s program and graduated
in 1993 with a specialty in internal
medicine. He is in private practice
in Huntington. Effective January 1,
2007, he is the official hospitalist
for St. Mary’s Hospital. “This is a
new specialty in West Virginia,” said
Richardson. “I specialize in the care
of hospitalized patients only. This is
considered a more efficient way of
practicing medicine, allowing the
patient’s primary care physician to
spend more time in his or her office
treating patients.
As president of the Alumni
Association, Richardson hopes to
get maximum participation from
A Special Thank You
The Alumni Association would like to extend a well deserved
thank you to Mark F. Sheridan, MD, Class of 1987, for his
leadership, involvement, and support as the past president. Dr. Sheridan served as president of the association from
September 2004 – September 2006 and continues on the
School of Medicine Alumni Association board of directors as
the immediate past president.
Linda S. Holmes,
director of development & alumni affairs
presents a plaque to Dr. Sheridan
all graduates. “We recently had our
1,000th graduate,” Richardson said.
“I would like to see an overwhelming
number of them become members of
the Alumni Association.”
In order to become a member, one
makes an annual $50.00 membership
gift to the School of Medicine Alumni
Association. A gift of $500 makes one
a Lifetime member.
“The faculty, staff, and alumni
of the School of Medicine made it
possible for us to realize our dreams
of becoming a physician and live a
lifestyle we enjoy,” Richardson said.
“It is an obligation for alumni to help
those who come after us, and support
the institution.”
Richardson also serves on the
board of the Marshall University
Alumni Association representing the
Graduate College.
The president-elect will be Dr.
Paul R. Durst, Class of 1984.

School of Medicine’s “Silver Celebration”
Sparkles with Alumni Returnees
In 2006 the School of Medicine
celebrated a major historic milestone,
the Class of 1981’s 25th Reunion!
The “Silver Celebration,” held on
Sept. 8-9, was part of the 20th Annual
Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine
Homecoming Weekend.
Also returning were the classes
of 1986 (20-year reunion), 1991 (15year reunion), 1996 (10-year reunion)
and 2001 (5-year reunion).
Events included a reunion class
luncheon, CME sessions, and a special
celebratory dinner for the Class of
1981 at the Guyan Country Club.
The dinner was followed by the Silver
Reunion Celebration at the Radisson
Hotel with live music by the Oakwood
Road Beer Band. Tours of the MU
Medical Center, the Robert C. Byrd
Biotechnology Science Center and
the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer
Center showcased the growth of the
school in the past 25 years.
A tailgate party at Herd Village
prior to the MU vs. Hofstra Game
provided an opportunity for everyone
to kick back and relax.
Dr. Patrick Bonasso, who jokes
that he is the first graduate of the
School of Medicine since there were
no “A’s,” had a good time reminiscing
and spending time with classmates and
former professors. “It was an honor
and a pleasure to see Dr. Robert Coon,
the first dean, and former Marshall
President Dr. Robert Hayes. When we
were students, we really looked up to
them, so it was nice to chum around
with them at the events. And Linda
Holmes treated us all like ambassadors
on the red carpet. It was a phenomenal
homecoming.”
“The School of Medicine gave me
the opportunity to become a doctor
and stay in the state to help the people
of West Virginia,” Bonasso added. “It
Members of the Class of 1981 made comments about
what the School of Medicine meant to them during
their reunion dinner – Patrick C. Bonasso, MD; Dennis

MD; Stephen F. Morris, MD; Brenda C. Smith, MD; Nina
K. Smith, MD; Stephen C. Smith, MD; John F. Toney,
MD; Robert E. Turner, MD; Keith H. Wharton, MD
was an easy decision for me.” Bonasso
and his associates own WomanCare
Inc., with offices in Fairmont and
Bridgeport, W.Va.
Dr. Jack Toney, an infectious
disease specialist and professor of
medicine at the University of South
Florida College of Medicine, was
impressed to see how the School of
Medicine has come to excel in all
fields of primary care. “The fact that
14 out of 18 of the graduates returned
speaks very highly of the SOM,” Toney
said. “We were all so comfortable with
each other, it was almost as if we had
just taken a week off school to get
back together. Seeing that graduates
have gone all over the United States
to practice medicine shows how the
school has developed a national
reputation.”
Toney was accepted as a
medical student at both Marshall
and W.V.U. “I had issues with West
Virginia University, so I wrote them
a condescending letter,” Toney said.
“Then I found out Marshall might not
be accredited! I took my chance and it
was the right decision.”
Toney’s two daughters, both
university students in Florida, are
considering coming to Marshall to
attend medical school. “This would
be fine with me. There are a lot of
special people here, and Huntington
is a place where you can learn a lot
though all aspects of life.”
Dr. Brenda Smith was proud to
see that her colleagues were successful
in putting their skills to work.
“As medical students, there was a
tremendous amount of information
we were expected to learn. It was
overwhelming. More than one of us,
in frustration, asked ‘Why can’t they
just teach us what we need to know
to practice medicine.’ The answer
to that question was simple. They
didn’t know what we would need to
know to practice medicine in the ever
changing world of science and disease.
But our professors gave us that basic
understanding that was so important.
They instilled in us the skills we
would need to meet the challenges
ahead. I was proud that we had met
the challenges. I was proud to be a

class, and now many of us are happy
and successful,” Smith said. “Linda
Holmes and Dr. McKown put together
a first-class affair and the members
appreciated it very much.”
Dr.
Sandra Joseph calls the
reunion an event she will never
forget. “Not only did Linda Holmes
orchestrate a fantastic event, the
members of my class were showered
with memories in the form of pictures,
publications and personalities” Joseph
said. “The reunion was priceless, not
only because of the opportunity to visit
my classmates, but also because the
school’s pioneers were there, too. The

of the school’s first professors,

be remembered as a heroic calling
above and beyond the call of duty
to ultimately improve the healthcare
of southern West Virginia. To have
been part of this historical and very
meaningful undertaking has not only
been a privilege, but an answer to a
higher calling to serve God and the
people of West Virginia.”
Joseph appreciates the focus on
treating the whole patient. “This
approach, I think, gave the SOM grads
a unique characteristic consistent
with the Hippocratic Oath,” she
continued. “We learned that the
practice of medicine is a science AND
an art, encompassing respect and
honesty. While seeing my classmates
after 25 years, I wondered what ever
happened to the time. Everything for
a minute seemed the same, but then
you couldn’t miss the fact that we were
now experienced physicians whom
the SOM had armed with the tools,
the wisdom and the appreciation of
patient-centered care, which is also
reflected by subsequent grads all over
the state and all over the country.
From a shaky first year in 1978, to
25 graduating classes, the School of
Medicine also validates the courage
and spirit embedded in the words ‘We
Are…Marshall.”

WAYS TO GIVE
Dr. and Mrs. Daniel Cowell remember
others through Take A Seat Campaign
Dr. Dan Cowell feels a special sort
of satisfaction and consolation when
entering the Harless Auditorium at
the School of Medicine. Over the
past few years, he has purchased four
auditorium seats as part of the Take
A Seat Campaign, a $1,000 naming
opportunity that provides resources to
maintain and upgrade technology in
the Harless Auditorium.
“I was initially attracted to the
Take A Seat Campaign when my wife,
Diana, and I felt we needed to do
something for our infant son, Joseph,
who died in 1973,” Cowell said. “I
thought it would be comforting to be
able to sit in the row facing the plaque
and see his name memorialized.”
The Cowells followed with
a chair and plaque to remember
Diana’s deceased sister, Mary Suzanne
Hamilton. “An uncounted number
of people pass through the world
without much recognition of their
existence,” Cowell said. “Mary was
mentally retarded, and we thought it
was important to recognize her in this
way.”
The next chair was a graduation
gift in honor of their son, Dana,
who graduated from West Virginia
University in 2006. This was followed
by a fourth chair in memory of Diana’s
mother, Grace Hamilton. Diana
wished to see her mother’s name
on a plaque, to honor her beautiful
mother’s intelligence and grace after
losing her to a twenty year struggle
with Alzheimer’s Disease.
“The Take A Seat Campaign is an
excellent way to support the School of
Medicine”, Cowell said. “The School
stands to make $210,000 from this
one idea. I am pleased that we bought
the four seats. When I sit behind the
names, I feel good about it and about
the people they honor.”
Cowell also established the Daniel
J. and Theresa R. Cowell Scholarship
for a deserving medical student in
honor of his parents. “They were very
hard-working people,” Cowell said.
“My father was a self taught man who
did not go past the third grade and my
mother taught school for 42 years. I
felt it would be enormously pleasing
to both of them, and very meaningful
to me, to honor them in this way.”
Cowell is a part-time professor
in the Department of Psychiatry
and Behavioral Medicine and senior
associate dean for graduate medical
education. He came to the School of
Medicine in 1994 and served as chair
of his department for eight years before
going part-time. He is a graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania,
the New Jersey College of Medicine
and Georgetown University. Diana
Cowell is a full-time social worker
with Hospice of Huntington.
The Take A Seat Campaign
began in 1998 to help generate funds to
enhance medical education and provide
upgrades to the technology in the Harless
Auditorium. The auditorium has 210
seats and 84 have been sold. Donors are
encouraged to draft their sentiment for
the brass plaque that is displayed on the
back of the purchased seat.

Giving back to our donors
When you give money or stock for a charitable gift annuity with
the Marshall University Foundation, we give you back annual
payments for the rest of your life. Too good to be true? Seems
like it, but true nonetheless. And many of our friends are taking
advantage of this opportunity.
Why does the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School
of Medicine promote charitable gift annuities? To help our
physicians and friends who want to make larger gifts, but can’t
afford to reduce their cash flow. Also, it helps our donors who
are planning to provide a bequest make the gift now so they can
take advantage of the income tax charitable deduction. And for
older donors, an annuity may actually provide a larger payout
from the asset than they might otherwise receive.
A deferred payment charitable
gift annuity works well for
younger donors who want to
give to the School of Medicine
and, at the same time,
supplement their retirement
programs. For example, the
donor would designate a gift,
for example $10,000, for a
gift annuity which would
be “programmed” to begin
payments at retirement age the longer the deferral period,
the higher the annual payment. Even though the donor will not
receive payments from the annuity for several years, an income
tax charitable deduction is available for the year in which the
gift is made.

By careful management, the Foundation is able not only to make
the scheduled annuity payments, but to have enough left over to
help us carry forward our mission. In other words, these annuities
benefit the donors and the School of Medicine.
Our gift annuity program is loaded with many benefits, and we
want you to know about these. For more information, please call
Dr. Lynne S. Mayer, Associate Vice President for Development, at
304.696.2239. She will be happy to send you a confidential report
showing you how a gift annuity can benefit you.
YES! I/We want to support the School of Medicine’s 2006-2007 Annual Fund.
