Grateful for his education, Mark Eastham, MD’82, gives back to UMass Chan through a new scholarship
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.
