This summer there was a changing of the guard at the University Health Services (UHS), as Associate Professor of Medicine David S. Rosenthal '59 was named to succeed outgoing director Warren E.C. Wacker.
Rosenthal is the chair-elect of the medical staff and the chief of clinical hematology at the Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital. He is also the former president of the Massachusetts division of the American Cancer Society.
The new UHS chief said he hoped to have the health services teach students more about preventing disease.
Despite Wacker's departure from the health services, undergraduates will still be able to see the Oliver professor of hygiene in action. He is teaching History of Science 149, a conference course titled "Health Care in the United States."
