A longtime leader in emergency medicine, David E. Wilcox, MD, FACEP, is funding a new award that will support research in the specialty at UMass Chan Medical School, where he was a valued faculty member for more than 15 years.

For Mark Eastham, MD'82, the course to a fulfilling medical career took a somewhat unusual route. It was first set on a summer day in the waters off Cape Cod, after a preliminary stop at the Hyannis Port estate of a rather well-known Massachusetts family. Many years later, the Lowell native is funding a scholarship at UMass Chan Medical School to help aspiring physicians launch their own careers in medicine.

Leslie Shaff, MD’84, P'99, and Harvey Shaff, DMD, and their family, including David Shaff, MD’99, Heidi Shaff, MD’00, Eric Shaff, MBA, and Sharon Shaff, CPA, fund new scholarship.
