RSS FeedUCNI Mourns Passing of Oliver Waddell
Monday, October 25, 2010
With sadness, but with fondest memories, Directors John M. Tew, MD, and Joseph Broderick, MD, informed members of the UC Neuroscience Institute today of the passing of Oliver Waddell, a longtime friend whose generosity made the Waddell Center for Multiple Sclerosis possible.
The Waddell Center was founded in 2002 through a generous gift from Mr. Waddell, whose wife, Virgilee, was diagnosed with MS in 1981. Mrs. Waddell died in October 2009.
The Waddell Center embraces "the three C's" espoused by Mrs. Waddell: competence, comprehensiveness, and compassion.
