Endowment Fund To Honor Pat Green

An endowment fund has been established to honor Pat Green, a residency program specialist at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, who recently retired after more than 30 years of service to the university. The endowment announcement was made at Green's retirement reception on Feb. 24, 2011.

The Patricia Green Internal Medicine Residency Education Endowment will provide support to the residency program within the department of internal medicine at USA.

"Pat is an important part of the institution and someone clearly deserving of having her contributions be a part of the legacy of this department forever," said Dr. Errol Crook, professor and Abraham Mitchell Chair of  Internal Medicine at USA. "Pat's service is comparable to the founding faculty of our medical school, and she has been crucial in the educational experiences of a large number of physicians throughout our region."

"The endowment provides alumni and friends of the university an opportunity to honor Pat for all that she has done throughout her career," said Dr. Thomas Montgomery, professor of internal medicine and program director of the internal medicine residency program. "Her dedication and attention to detail is without equal, and honoring her in this way will ensure high quality educational experiences for our residents."

To give to the Patricia Green Internal Medicine Residency Education Endowment, include your contribution in the upcoming faculty/staff annual fund, or contact Tracy Coleman at (251) 460-6574.
