The Cleveland Clinic is creating an endowed colorectal surgery chair due to a $2 million donation from Sara Story and Kenneth Garschina, according to a Crain's Cleveland Business report.
The newly-created chair will be held by the head of the colorectal surgery department Luca Stocchi, MD. Dr. Stocchi is board certified in colorectal surgery. The chair will focus on research in colorectal cancer.
Ms. Story's father previously donated $1.5 million to the Cleveland Clinic for the creation of a chair focused on inflammatory bowel disease research. Bo Shen, MD, a section head of the gastroenterology and hepatology department at the Cleveland Clinic, will be this chair's next holder.
