Johns Hopkins Medicine has a proud history of leadership and innovation in the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. This legacy was further enhanced in 2010, when Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery moved from being a division in the Department of Surgery to an independent department.
As one of the first such departments at a major academic institution, we are uniquely poised to marshal greater resources and further new opportunities for advances in the field. The Residents Education and Training Fund, formerly known as the Four Chiefs Fund, encourages these opportunities for advancement.
We would like to thank the following department leaders and alumni for their generous contributions and we hope you will consider joining them in their support of the department’s training programs: Adam L. Basner, M.D.; Steven Bonawitz, M.D.; William A. Crawley, M.D.; M. Felix Freshwater, M.D.; Dr. and Mrs. John E. Hoopes; Randolph M. Howes, M.D., Ph.D.; Dr. and Mrs. Michael Jabaley; Ramon A. de Jesus, M.D.; W. P. Andrew Lee, M.D.; Edward A. Luce, M.D.; Paul N. Manson, M.D.; Bernard L. Markowitz, M.D.; Dr. and Mrs. Raymond F. Morgan; Richard J. Redett, M.D.; Ernesto J. Ruas, M.D.; Justin M. Sacks, M.D.; Dr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Serletti.
