Mary Byrne named to the Stone Foundation and Elise D Fish Professorship in Clinical Health Care for the Underserved

Mary Byrne has been named to the Stone Foundation and Elise D Fish Professorship in Clinical Health Care for the Underserved. This appointment was enthusiastically endorsed by the faculty committee of full professors in the school, and by the health sciences and University Trustees at their meeting on Friday. This professorship was funded by the Stone Foundation, through the advocacy of alumna and Board of Visitors member Sally Stone, and through a gift from Elise Fish, also an alumna. Care of the underserved may be the most daunting health challenge we have in this country, and Professor Byrne has been a pioneer in establishing the science to address those most vulnerable, infants and toddlers, who have been her dedicated mission for many many years.
