Professor To Be Honored At Dedication Of OMM Lab

September 18, 2002

EAST LANSING -- A high-tech laboratory for the teaching of high-touch medicine will be dedicated at the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. All are invited to the ceremony from 3 to 3:30 p.m. on Friday, September 20, in E106 Fee Hall.

The Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Laboratory is funded by a $115,000 gift from Jason and Danica Woolley in appreciation of the "compassion and professional care" of Lynn Brumm, D.O., professor emeritus of family and community medicine at MSUCOM. Mr. Woolley, a former star hockey player for the Spartans, is a member of the Buffalo Sabres of the National Hockey League.

The facility includes a number of improvements for the teaching of osteopathic manual medicine, including excellent sight lines, underfloor wiring, electronic treatment tables, Internet access, and the ability to project digital slides, video and audio. The laboratory can also be used as a videoconferencing center for teaching manual medicine to students and physicians in other locations.

MSU Athletic Director Ron Mason, will be on hand for the ceremony, which will also include the dedication of a special plaque. Demonstrations will also be available in the laboratory, and light refreshments will be served. 

Everyone is encouraged to join us as we honor Dr. Brumm and his many years of service to the profession.
