Edwards November 18, 1918- May 7, 2006 Photo by Rick Lee 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. School of Medicine 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.

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.

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.

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. H onor or remember someone special!

Richardson Serves As Alumni Association President Dr. Bradley J. Richardson, Class of 1993, took office as president of the SOM 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 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION UPDATE 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 M. Burton, MD; Harry G. “Bucky” Camper, MD; Galen E. Castle, MD; Leslie N. Heddleston, MD; Sandra J. Joseph, 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 School of Medicine ALUMNI ASSOCIATION UPDATE The Smiths’ from the Class of 1981 showing off their new football jerseys compliments of athletic director Bob “Kayo” Marcum – Drs.

Toney at the Class of 1981 dinner Members of the Class of 1981 enjoyed their 25-year reunion dinner at Guyan Golf and Country Club member of the Class of ’81.” Dr. Stephen Smith was glad to see former classmates he had not seen since graduation. “We were a small 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 efforts of the late Dr. Esposito, Dean Front row (L to R) Drs. Harry G. “Bucky” Camper, former MU president Robert B. Hayes, Stephen C. Smith, Robert C. Coon, former SOM dean, Patrick C.

Joseph Coon, Dr. Hayes, and the perseverance of the school’s first professors, including Dean McKown, will long 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.” School of Medicine ALUMNI ASSOCIATION UPDATE Honorary Alumnae Congratulations to Cindy Warren Shane Wells receives award at the Annual Awards Ceremony Drs.

School of Medicine 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.

School of Medicine WAYS TO GIVE Opportunities for Giving Donations may be made to the School of Medicine greatest needs or to any of its departments or programs. The support may be unrestricted or specifically limited as to it use. Gifts are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by IRS regulations. Ways to give: Cash gifts to the Marshall University Foundations, Inc. Gifts of stocks or other securities Gifts in kind of real or personal property Deferred gifts, such as wills, bequests and trusts Naming the School of Medicine as a beneficiary of life insurance or individual retirement accounts Pledges of future gifts Endowments Tangible items such as art, antiques or books Estate planning Gifts may be designated for: Greatest needs General Scholarships (endowed and expendable) Support for research Support for professorships and fellowships Equipment purchases and other needs Annual lectures Special program Take A Seat Campaign Creating a Named Endowment Named endowments in memory or honor of an individual, family, group or organization can be established with a minimum gift of $15,000. The contributions are invested by the Marshall University Foundation Inc., and earnings are available annually for the purpose designated by the donor. Endowments may support scholarships, lectures, facilities, faculty development or other programs. For more information, please call Linda S. Holmes, Director of Development & Alumni Affairs at 304.691.1711 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.
