ROSTER OF CONTRIBUTORS Listed here and on the following pages are the names of organizations and individuals making leadership gifts in the form of contributions and pledges to the Eastern Virginia Medical School Foundation. The generosity of our area's people enabled the dream of a medical school in eastern Virginia to become a reality in three short years. These gifts and pledges are gratefully acknowledged as are the gifts and subscriptions of hundreds of additional contributors in the one dollar to one thousand dollar range. An asterisk CFD prior to the donor's name indicates an increase in pledge has been received since the original Sponsor, Honor Roll, Merit, Medallion or Citation subscription was made. There are 182 organizations and individuals who have pledged at the leadership, Sponsor, level.The average Sponsor gift is in excess of S62,500, excluding gifts from several foundations ranging from S300,000 to over 81.5 million. By definition, a Sponsor has donated or pledged a minimum of 330,000 to the Eastern Virginia Medical School Foundation. The roster of EVMS Sponsors will be permanently displayed in the Basic Medical Education Building upon its completion late in 1977.

aboard in the basic sciences, department chairman and other faculty had to be in place to bring the school to acceptable strength. They urged an intensive recruiting effort and said the status would be reviewed in March. An interim report was sent to the Liaison Committee that month and there was no official position taken on the school. The Committee would meet again in June. During April and May as recruiters continued their efforts cross country, the Medical Authority received as a gift an electron microscope laboratory from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the equipment had become surplus, and the Community Mental Health Center was dedicated and received its first patients. By June 5th, all needed departmental chairman had signed contracts and the Liaison Committee was immediately notified. At the Committee's meeting on June 13th, the medical school was granted permission to accept students. Registration was set for late September and acceptance notices mailed to 24 of the 1200 applicants, twenty of the students from Virginia, the Charter Class of the Eastern Virginia Medical School. As diplomas were awarded to the graduating Charter Class, 148 other students were working their way through the three year curriculum. Sixty-four entered in July and are deep in the study of basic sciences. The second and third year students are getting their clinical experience in community hospitals and physician's offices, the environment in which most will practice, instead of in the traditional university hospital which is fast becoming an expensive anachronism in medical education. By 1978, ninety-six students will be entering the Eastern Virginia Medical School each year. The increase in class size made possible by a new Basic Medical Education Building now under construction. With the Medical School in place, the Authority formed more links in the educational chain that begins with pre-medical training and runs through medical school, residency training and continuing education for practicing physicians. Organized by the Authority, a seven member consortium of colleges and universities is working to coordinate and improve pre-medical education. Area hospitals have affiliated with the Authority in a joint venture as the Eastern Virginia Graduate School of Medicine. This entity handles the recruitment and management of interns and residents on a regional basis. It coordinates the educational programs of the hospitals, and the Medical School's faculty provides a core of basic science and clinical instruction. This strengthens the academic quality of the residencies and improves the patient care provided by the hospitals. Scientific meetings, seminars and workshops are being arranged for the continuing education of physicians, soon to be a requirement for practice. More than a third of eastern Virginia's 1500 practitioners are already sharpening their skills and knowledge through voluntary, non-salaried, teaching assignments and curriculum development at the School. These links of medical education have been forged by the Authority as parent organization of the School, holding legal and management responsibilities. The Authority itself has undergone a major change. Because of the regional nature of its operations, the educational and health care programs have an inescapable impact on the communities of eastern Virginia. It was apparent these communities should have a direct voice in the govemance of the programs. On request of the Commis- sioners, the General Assembly of Virginia amended the Authority's charter to allow direct appointment of Commis- sioners by city councils of the region's municipalities. Along with the voice in governance came the implicit obligation of financial support. The name of the organization has been changed to the Eastern Virginia Medical Authority, the number of Commissioners increased from seven to ten, appointed by six cities, and the yearly financial support from these communities is expected to soon exceed S1 million. This is the first voluntary agreement and joint funding arrangement ever entered into by this group of cities. In itself a pioneering and significant step. There has been strong continuing support for the School and the Authority by the people of eastern Virginia. Since the end of the formal campaign to establish the School in 1973, the EVMS Foundation's Development Committee has continued the fund raising - to make up the lack of federal support and for special programs - to date contributions total more than S20 million. In the area of state funding, the General Assembly has increased its operational support of the Medical School to 85,333 dollars per student per year. This reflects the three year curriculum of the EVMS as opposed to the more traditional four year program. The Assembly also approved S560,000 over two years for support of the Family Practice program, recognizing its parity with similar programs being operated by the two state supported medical schools. However in the largest and in some ways most critical area, funds for the medically indigent, the Assembly has not responded. Because of the over-riding importance of these millions of dollars in general tax revenues channeled into patient care through state medical school hospitals, the Authority and area hospitals will continue efforts to have the eastern Virginia hospital consortium recognized as a surrogate for the university hospital. This would provide a means of returning to eastern Virginia those tax dollars for care of the destitute that are now being disbursed only in the Richmond and Charlottesville areas. Nationally, changes in the patterns of medical education and the providing of health care services are both overdue and inevitable. A cohesion and singleness of purpose must be brought to the fragmented mass of medical resources. The need is for a logical arrangement of contracts, mergers and joint efforts using all medical resources with maximum efficiency for both medical education and patient care. In eastern Virginia the Medical Authority is the framework on which new systems are being fleshed out. Education, persuasion and negotiation involving health professionals, government leaders and health insurers are bringing about changes. Differing views of mission are being reconciled to a single goal - better health care - with all things medical geared to that purpose. In eastern Virginia the impossible dream of thousands of people, the Medical School and the Medical Authority which created it have become the means to the beginning.
