Vitoux Program on Clinical Research for Equitable Health
Program Overview
The Vitoux Program on Clinical Research for Equitable Health is made possible with generous support from the Vitoux family. Beth and George Vitoux, both 1937 graduates of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, believed in education and research as a means to make the world a better place. They greatly valued the education they received at the University of Illinois and their gratitude extended to the University of Illinois Chicago.
Their $1 million gift to UIC has led to the creation of the Beth Fowler Vitoux and George E. Vitoux Distinguished Professorship in Geriatric Medicine in the College of Medicine. Dr. Jun Ma, MD, PhD, FAHA, FABMR serves as the inaugural Vitoux Distinguished Professor of Medicine. This professorship will support advancements in the medical and social aspects of aging and prevention.
