Summary
$3 million from Stevie Nicks will fund an endowed otolaryngology chair at USC’s Keck School of Medicine, honoring Beverly Hills ENT specialist Dr. Joseph Sugerman.
USC said the gift pushed the fundraising effort to its target, creating the Stevie Nicks and Joseph Sugerman, MD, Endowed Chair in Otolaryngology.
Sugerman, a USC graduate and longtime faculty member, has practiced for nearly 50 years and is known for treating singers and entertainers, including Nicks throughout much of her career.
Dr. Michael M. Johns, head of the USC Voice Center, will be the first chair holder as the post is dedicated to advancing vocal medicine.
