  • ChesterCWinterChester C. Winter, MD, was the professor and director of Ohio State's Division of Urology in 1960. He was appointed the Louis Levy Professor of Urology in 1975. He served as chief of the Division of Urology until 1978. Dr. Winter knew firsthand the importance of endowed funds to support key areas of the department.

    "It was with gratitude to The Ohio State University and its College of Medicine that I established two endowments in 1985: the Annual Visiting Professorship in Urology (Fund #607739) and the Cary Winter Library for Urology (Fund #607738). During the past two decades, it has given me immense pleasure to meet some of the distinguished visiting professors and witness their contributions to the education of residents in urology at the University."

    In 1997, a lecture series was initiated in his name. The distinguished visiting professors are listed below.

  • sarahleeyoungsSara Lee Youngs 

    A grateful patient of Dr. Robert Bahnson and an international businesswoman, Sara Lee Youngs made a difference in the lives of many. From quiet philanthropy such as a $150 "loan" to a stranded Spanish traveler who needed money to return to the United States, to a very generous gift to support urologic cancer research, Lee was understated and giving. Her legacy affects the Department of Urology at the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute every day.

    "Lee made her mark here on earth in many ways during her life; if we may add another in her honor and all the while help others, we've succeeded in her primary beliefs. She always enjoyed helping others."
    -- Carla Lowry, daughter of Sara Lee Youngs

  • Ervin and Bonnie Babbert are longtime supporters of the Department of Urology. Erv first got to know Dr. Bahnson as a patient in 1998. Now, they are viewed as family.

    On Jan. 1, 2016, we lost a great friend in the passing of Erv. He will be greatly missed.

    Through the generosity of Erv and Bonnie, resident education will be enhanced because of the Babbert Lectureship.

  • Michael Bloch, a longtime supporter of the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute and The Ohio State University, had generously donated funds for the creation of the Janis B. and Michael D. Bloch Endowment Fund in Urology. The fund was designed to support ongoing needs of the department and initiatives that enhance and strengthen the program.

    It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of our special friend, Michael, on May 9, 2016.
