ENDOWMENT BRINGS INSTALLMENT OF THE HARVEY LECTURESHIP IN MEDICINE TO CAMPUS
FEATURED LECTURER: STEPHANIE MOORE, M.D., CARDIOLOGIST AND ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE, HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL On May 2, 2014, Northeast Ohio Medical University (NEOMED) welcomed Stephanie Moore, M.D., to campus for an installment of The Harvey Lectureship in Medicine Series. Dr. Moore, medical director of the Cardiac Connected Care Program at Massachusetts General Hospital Health Center in Boston, Mass., and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, lectured on “Progress in the Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure,” an excerpt from her presentation at the University’s 25th Internal Medicine Update course. The Harvey Lectureship in Medicine was established through the creation of an endowment in 1980 by J. Paul Harvey Jr., M.D., and John Collins Harvey, M.D., in honor of their parents Joseph Paul Harvey Sr., M.D., and Mary Collins Harvey. For more than 20 years the endowment has been used to bring well-known and highly-respected individuals in the medical field to lecture to students and faculty at NEOMED, as well as physicians in the ValleyCare Health System. The Harvey Lectureship in Medicine is a landmark event for NEOMED and served as the feature presentation during this year’s Internal Medicine Update to recognize the course’s 25th anniversary. Each year, a speaker from The Harvey Lectureship in Medicine will be featured as an integral component of the Internal Medicine Update course to showcase the series and celebrate the Harvey family’s contributions to medicine and the medical profession.
