UPMC and the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences have partnered to establish a concussion fellowship in honour of the late US Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney.
Rooney, who died in 2017, was famous in his native United States as the owner of the American football team the Pittsburgh Steelers and in Ireland as a philanthropist, supporter of Irish cultural, educational and charitable causes, and, late in life, as US ambassador from 2009-2012 under President Obama.
