The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has received a $100,000 gift from Rosanne Murphy of Hot Springs to establish an endowed scholarship in the UAMS College of Medicine.
Murphy’s late husband, Marvin L. Murphy, M.D., was a cardiologist at UAMS for 33 years, from 1963 until his retirement in 1996. He was a professor emeritus thereafter and died on Feb. 17, 2002, at age 71.
In 1991, Murphy received the College of Medicine’s Distinguished Faculty Award, which was established in 1973 to honor exemplary faculty members who helped shape the institution.
