Hugh M. Gloster Society
In 2007, we launched the Hugh M. Gloster Society. Named in honor of one of MSMs esteemed founders and late president of Morehouse College, the Gloster Society was established to help grow philanthropy and to enhance our knowledge of exceptional generosity to the Annual Fund. Annual gifts support student scholarships, the library, and classroom and technology enhancements. Since 2007, approximately 300 individuals, corporations, and foundations have become members of the Gloster Society.
The Louis C. Brown Vanguard Award
In 2009, Morehouse School of Medicine established the Louis C. Brown Vanguard Award. The award is named in honor of the late Atlanta internist and a founder of MSM. The Vanguard Award recognizes individuals whose pioneering spirit and demonstrated leadership have impacted issues of health disparities in Georgia and the nation.
Inaugural Vanguard Award recipients were A.D. "Pete" Correll, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation and retired chairman of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, and Michael B. Russell, CEO of H.J. Russell & Company and member of the Board of Directors of the Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation. They were honored for their outstanding and diligent work as co-chairs of the Greater Grady Task Force that guided Grady Memorial Hospital through transition -- ensuring quality health care for all Georgians.
