- Doing Well and Doing Good: Alumni in Medicine

This tradition of excellence includes Alice Paul Merit Award winners Mary Ellen Avery ‘44 (winner of National Science Medal for contributions to pediatrics), Christian Hansen ’50 (a pediatrician who spent most of his career traveling to impoverished countries to aid malnourished and sick children), Peter and Bonnie Greenfield Reagan ’64 (physicians and community leaders), Tom Hedges ’67 (ophthalmologist and humanitarian), Ken Mayer ’68 (pioneer in AIDS research). Anne Rosenberg ’74 (distinguished surgeon), Maria Elena del Socorro Jefferds ’89, Ph.D. (nutrition expert at the CDC). Increasing numbers of MFS grads are entering into the medical profession and adjacent fields. Enjoy reading about these graduates who are continuing this tradition of MFS alumni serving communities with their expert talents and skills in medical care. - TIME Chief Marketing Officer Sadé Muhammad Provides Career Day Keynote Remarks
