Jewish Hospital Distinguished Chair in Hepatology
School of Medicine - Established November 2000
Jewish Hospital Foundation created this distinguished chair in
hepatology, which was matched by the state Research Challenge Trust
Fund. The chair studies new therapeutic strategies to treat liver
disease.
Jewish Hospital Foundation was a principal contributor to the
bicentennial campaign, providing funds for the Donald E. Baxter
Biomedical Research Building and numerous clinical and research programs
in the School of Medicine.
Founded in 1905, Jewish Hospital has long been a partner with the
School of Medicine.
In 2001, U of L surgeons led a Jewish Hospital
clinical team that performed the world's first two implants of the
AbioCor self-contained artificial heart.
