AUGUSTA, Ga. (Feb.3, 2021) - A $1 million gift from the estate of a pool industry pioneer has established the newest endowed chair at the state of Georgia s only public medical school.
The gift from the estate of the late Leon Bloom, founder of BioLab, Inc., an international swimming pool chemical company, honors him and his late wife by creating the Leon and Dorothy Bloom Chair in Medical Research at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. We are thankful for the benevolence of donors like the Blooms and this invaluable gift to MCG, says MCG Dean Dr. David Hess. Philanthropic gifts like this enable us to recruit and retain the best faculty, who in turn help us carry out our essential missions of education, research and patient care.
