Philanthropist Jackson Stephens is giving 1.5 million dollars to the University of Arkansas
for Medical Sciences for a second endowed chair in geriatric
medicine.
The gift will be matched by funds the Donald W. Reynolds
Foundation has already committed.
It is Stephens` second gift to the medical school`s department
of geriatrics.
In 1999, Stephens contributed 1.5 million dollars
for a chair held by Doctor David Lipschitz. Stephens has also given
48 million dollars to UAMS for the Jackson T. Stephens Spine
and Neurosciences Institute, which opened in April.
