Giving Spotlight
Dr. Nicole Osevala (Med ’03), first chief of the Department of Medicine’s newly formed Division of Geriatric Medicine, has been named the inaugural holder of the Harry Albertman Chair in Geriatric Medicine, an endowed fund established through a bequest gift from Grace Albertman Rice in memory of her father. Thanks to this generous gift, Osevala can tap into a steady and reliable source of annual income to bolster the new division’s research and educational missions, including funding pilot studies and providing resources to support program staff, who have launched the inaugural Geriatrics Scholars Program aimed at advancing age and dementia-friendly care in our hospitals. The endowment also supports research and quality improvement projects that may attract additional grant funding from agencies such as the National Institute on Aging.
Grateful patient Marie Conley established the Cushing’s Disease Awareness Fund to help educate medical professionals and students to recognize the complex symptoms of Cushing’s Disease and ultimately help other patients facing the same diagnosis it took her years to receive, after seeing multiple specialists and enduring hundreds of tests. The fund supports lectures and continuing education opportunities such as the upcoming course “Metabolic Syndrome: Could it be Cushing’s Disease?”on Wednesday, April 23.
