A very generous gift from Kenny Abrams, son of Dr. Berel and Mrs. Nancy Abrams, has established the Berel L. Abrams, M.D. Endowed Chair in Surgery at the University of Louisville. Dr. Abrams is a 1956 alumnus of the University of Louisville School of Medicine and served for many years as a gratis faculty member in the Department of Surgery. Dr. Abrams trained a generation of surgery residents and students at Jewish Hospital and was the long-time moderator of the Department of Surgery's Morbidity and Mortality Conference. On Sept. 27, the Abrams family hosted a reception to celebrate Dr. Abrams and the newly created endowed chair. Nearly 100 people were in attendance, including many of Dr. Abrams' family, to be a part of this special evening.
