Stimson Society Honors
Planned Giving Donors
You can make a powerful difference in the future of medicine by including Weill Cornell Medical College in your planned giving. Weill Cornell created the Lewis Atterbury Stimson Society in 2002 as a way to honor the vision and critical importance of this distinguished group of alumni, faculty, staff and friends. The Stimson Society is named after Lewis Atterbury Stimson, who with his friend Colonel Oliver H. Payne was instrumental in founding Cornell University Medical College in 1898.
Ian Smith is the new Board of Overseers Chair of the Stimson Society. Jack Richard, M.D. ‘53, is the Alumni Stimson Society Chair and facilitates planned giving ideas to alumni.
At an annual lunch each year, members hear from one of Weill Cornell’s leading scientists and physicians about the latest research and treatment breakthroughs. This spring, they heard about “Your Precious Gift of Sight—How to Protect, Preserve and Restore It” from one of the world’s top experts, Donald J. D’Amico, M.D., Betty Neuwirth Lee and Chilly Professor in Stem Cell Research and Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology.
