65TH ANNUAL AWARDS DINNER TOOK PLACE ON NOVEMBER 21 at the Field Museum in Chicago. More than 800 people attended the event, which celebrated the school’s role in offering hope for a brighter tomorrow through its education of medical students and commit- ment to healing those most in need. The event was led by cochairs Judi Duchossois and Herta Cuneo.
The dinner is a major fundraiser for the
school, and this year raised a net total of more than $450,000 for medical student scholarships. “Stritch medical students dedicate them-
selves to becoming outstanding doctors. Their clinical skills, academic excellence, and biomedical research are used to care for pa- tients and reduce health disparities locally and globally,” says Linda Brubaker, MD, MS, Stritch School of Medicine’s dean and chief diversity officer. “With support from dinner attendees for the past 65 years, our graduates have spread across the world to serve the sick.” A highlight of the evening was the conferring
of the Stritch Medal to Mamdouh Bakhos, MD, FACS, professor and chair of the Department
of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. The medal, first presented in 1960, recognizes the accomplishments of a Loyola graduate or faculty member who exhibits dedication to research, education, and patient care. Dr. Bakhos has been a professor at Stritch for
almost 40 years and has held the chair position since 1997. During this time, he has successfully led one of the largest thoracic and cardiovascu- lar surgery departments in the nation, in terms of both volume and number of surgeons. The night also honored 18 young adults
who are members of the Stritch Junior Service League. These high school students contrib- uted about 3,500 volunteer hours to four social service agencies during their summer break. L
