NOV. 29, 2001 | The medical community in Arkansas recently celebrated creation of an endowment for pediatric facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) formally installed Milton Waner, M.D., a specialist in correcting deformities in children’s faces, as the first Benjamin and Milton Waner, M.D., Chair in Pediatric Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Dr. Waner is a professor in the Department of Otolaryngology (Head and Neck Surgery) in the UAMS College of Medicine. He practices at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH), an affiliate of UAMS.
UAMS Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D.; John P. Shock, M.D., interim dean of the UAMS College of Medicine; James Suen, M.D., chair of the Department of Otolaryngology; and Jonathan Bates, M.D., president of ACH, presided at the investiture ceremony Oct. 29.
Several of Dr. Waner’s colleagues spoke admiringly of him: Dr. Suen; Linda Brodsky, M.D., chief of pediatric otolaryngology at The Children’s Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y.; and Martin C. Mihm, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.P., professor of pathology at Harvard Medical School.
