Almost 75 faculty and staff of the Department of Geriatric Medicine at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM), recognized Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Uyeda for including the department in their estate plan. The Uyedas’ bequest will establish the Kenneth Keiso Uyeda and Nora Saida Uyeda Endowment in the Department of Geriatric Medicine, funding an endowed chair for the department.
“We are so grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Uyeda for this generous gift that will live in perpetuity as an endowment,” said Dr. Kamal Masaki, chair of Geriatric Medicine. “As retired teachers, they have continued their commitment to education and helped us teach our medical students, residents and fellows. Over the years, they have become part of our geriatrics family. This generous endowment will allow future generations of doctors to learn about geriatrics.”
