Nearly 150 years after its establishment, the WSU School of Medicine is still fueled by the passion for its community and dedication to urban clinical excellence.

'57, M.D. '60, and Barbara Klarman, J.D. '64, have generously committed much of their time and resources to both the city and the university that have played key roles in their lives.
