Dr. Tom Raffin, the Colleen and Robert Haas Professor of Medicine (Pulmonary Medicine), Emeritus, and Dr. David Magnus, Professor of Pediatrics (Bioethics), shared an honor on April 15th thanks to the generosity of the Haas family. In 1999 Dr. Raffin was named to the Haas Professorship with the recognition that, when he became emeritus, the professorship would be named in his honor. He became emeritus in 2009, and the Thomas A Raffin Professorship was established in Bioethics. I am pleased to announce that Dr. Magnus is the first incumbent. Drs. Raffin and Magnus, along with their families, friends and colleagues, shared this joint honor with Colleen and Robert Haas at a wonderful event on April 15th. Much appreciation and congratulations to all. Profile>
