We are pleased to announce the 7th Annual White Coat Gala to benefit UConn Health on April 16, 2016 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. This very special event brings together our entire community—grateful patients, friends, donors, faculty, and staff—to celebrate UConn and raise funds to support our mission. Proceeds will benefit our Bioscience Connecticut projects and the Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center. Read more on UConn Today.
This year’s recipients of the Carole and Ray Neag Medal of Honor for contributions to medicine are:
- Bess Economos, co-founder of the Lea’s Foundation for Leukemia Research; and
- Pramod K. Srivastava, PhD, MD, director of the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The evening also will feature UConn student-athlete Ryan Radue, a patient at the Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center.
