Tulane Medical Alumni Association
April 20, 2006
Dear Colleagues,
At the beginning of our career there was Tulane Medical School. When we all were hard working, over-achieving college students wanting to be doctors, we had no idea what a pivotal role Tulane would play in our lives. Our acceptance into Tulane was an honor and a privilege resulting from hard work and achievement. It was also a commitment from Tulane to provide us with a quality medical education secondary to none.
Hurricane Katrina dealt Tulane Medical School, both faculty and facilities, a devastating blow. The present leadership, both medical and uptown, is doing a heroic job creating organization out of chaos. The organization and rebuilding could be greatly enhanced with our help.
At the very least, we all need to be members of the Tulane Medical Alumni Association and at the most, we can give our time and effort to help Tulane. In between there are different levels of donations that will benefit the rebuilding and the medical students.
Presently there are 8,500 Tulane Medical alumni with only 1,200 being members of the Alumni Association. I understand that we all have other potential Alumni obligations, but suspect none is as important as Tulane Medical School.
When we were young, naïve, idealistic students, Tulane molded us into doctors: now the school that helped give us our medical career needs our help.
I thank you in advance for your new or renewed commitment to Tulane Medical School. Please contact Cynthia Hayes at (504) 861-8017 or chayes@tulane.edu to confirm your dedication to and appreciation of Tulane. The dues card can be printed from the below link and mailed, along with your contribution, to the alumni office.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Field III, M.D.‘79
President
Tulane Medical Alumni Association
