When Diana Blair was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer, she turned to the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University for lifesaving care. In gratitude and to honor her husband, she established the Diana and Bryan Blair Research Professorship for Women’s Health, supporting research that advances earlier detection and more effective treatments for gynecologic diseases. Inspired by the innovative research accomplished by the first Blair Professor, Alicia Smith, MD, Blair deepened her commitment by elevating the fund to a Distinguished Professorship. She then later funded the Diana Blair Gynecology Oncology Fellowship and has named Emory as the beneficiary of her IRA to educate the next generation of Gynecologic Oncologists. Diana is providing sustained support for cancer researchers and physicians and continued progress in women’s health for years to come. Learn how you can support Emory at giftplanning.emory.edu.
