The University of Louisville, Department of Surgery, has a long and proud tradition of excellence. From its inception in 1837, when the University of Louisville served as the premier medical training ground for the western frontier of the United States, the Department of Surgery has been at the forefront of surgical education, patient care, and research.
I learned long ago that there's no crying in Surgery. Forgive me if this is an exception. I've learned a lot over the past few years. I've learned that there is a huge difference between being a doctor and being a caregiver. I studied for many years to learn the former yet knew nothing about the latter.
We have several different ways to donate to the Department of Surgery, including investments in leading-edge research, the Dr. Hiram C. Polk, Jr. Endowment in Surgery, Trauma and Burn Fund, Residency programs, honorariums and memorial gifts, naming opportunities, special events and much more. The Oxley Foundation has made a very generous challenge pledge to the Dr. Hiram C. Polk Endowment Fund. The Foundation has pledged to give $1 million to the Polk endowment and has issued a challenge to others to help match the gift.
