Carol Soutra Quinn '63 and daughter Alison Quinn Banker pause for a photo with President Leary at the Physician Assistant bay
named in memory of Carol's husband, Dr. John J. Quinn.
"For 45 years, my husband, Dr. John Quinn, had a family practice in
East Longmeadow. This was truly his town, and he loved what he did, day
after day. He was known as the "community's doctor." Early in his career,
John made house calls, served as the school physician, and was there
holding office hours for what would be over the decades, generations
of families. This beautiful new building and the programs that are taught
within its walls, such as the MS in Physician Assistant Studies, reflect his
belief in the value of fundamental healthcare and his dedication to the
medical profession. He would be proud to see that legacy continue—
and in the town that was so much a part of his life."

space for future programs such as the MS in Genetic Counseling.
