Dr. Vaughan serves as interim chief of Emory’s Geriatrics section.
Why do you give?
“Giving financially is one way for us to show gratitude for the collective work of the Emory community in service to others. My gift supports the Geriatrics and Gerontology program in the Emory University Department of Medicine, which aims to optimize health care for older adults through innovations in education, translational research, and clinical care models.”
Which fund do you support?
“I support the Bettye Rose Connell Distinguished Lecture Fund. Dr. Connell was an Emory gerontologist renowned for her passion studying how an environment could be adapted to promote independence among older adults at risk of functional decline. I had the opportunity to interact with Dr. Connell as a first-year medical student during an aging-research experience. That experience ultimately influenced my decision to pursue a career in geriatrics and clinical research related to aging. I found out a few years ago that my mother-in-law and Dr. Connell were childhood friends, which makes our gift honoring Bettye Rose’s commitment to the well-being of older adults even more special. What a small world!”
