The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has received a $2.7 million gift from the estate of Eleanor Karam to support the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging.
Karam died in 2019 due to complications from Alzheimer s disease. Ms. Eleanor was a true visionary with a huge heart, Dr. Jeanne Wei, director of the institute and Karam s personal doctor, said in a news release. Her love of seniors will help our clinicians better understand the aging process and delay or reverse age-associated memory loss and Alzheimer s dementia. UAMS and all mature Arkansans are most fortunate indeed. We are deeply grateful to her and her siblings John and Jean for their generosity.
