physical health. This has produced a special breed of the most caring physicians, who pause to notice the emotional state of their patients.” Anne received her undergraduate degree from the University of Rochester and stayed to attend the School of Medicine and Dentistry (SMD). Her parents were teachers, and growing up, Anne thought she would follow their footsteps and teach math. When she arrived at Rochester, she chose to take many liberal arts classes alongside her math major. She saw her peers in the sciences were spending much of their time in the lab, but she knew that was not for her. She began to be interested in medicine while doing a research study about health education in schools. With the support of family, especially her father who enthusiastically urged her to follow her dreams, Anne entered medical school at SMD. Once she began her primary clerkship, Anne gravitated toward working with younger patients and went on to select pediatrics as a specialty. Recently Anne celebrated her 50th medical school reunion. She has had a fulfilling career, working at Kaiser Permanente in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and then at Children’s Hospital Colorado. Currently, she works as a travel physician, visiting hospitals around the country. Now nearing retirement, Anne also devotes much of her time to the equestrian program at her property, Kent Hill Farm, near Denver, CO. With so many fond memories of Rochester and feeling that the school helped to create who she is today, Anne joined the Wilson Society and established a bequest to support scholarships at SMD. Anne is eager to help other students have the same experience she did, and ultimately to ensure that future doctors value the interrelation of mind and body that she gleaned from the University of Rochester’s biopsychosocial approach. It’s my honor and pleasure to participate in giving. I find it very meaningful to continue the legacy.” “
