Richard S. Ross, M.D., Longtime Medical School Dean, Dies At 91
|
|
|
|
Richard S. Ross served as dean of the School of Medicine from 1975 to 1990.
|
Richard S. Ross, M.D., former dean of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, vice president for medicine of Johns Hopkins University and a renowned cardiologist who served as president of the American Heart Association, died Aug. 11. He was 91 and had been suffering from Parkinson's disease.
Ross was dean of the School of Medicine from 1975 to 1990. Under his leadership, the school doubled its space devoted to research, consistently was among the nation's top recipients of federal research funding and undertook educational reforms and initiatives that stimulated a continued flow of top-notch, diverse applicants to Johns Hopkins.
"Dick Ross was a true Hopkins legend," said cardiologist Myron "Mike" Weisfeldt (Med '65), former director of Johns Hopkins' Department of Medicine and himself a onetime president of the American Heart Association."He grew up in the tradition he then led. He went from cardiology chief to dean in a one-step advancement-quite an achievement in and of itself. His great characteristics were integrity and commitment. There were enough of both to infect all around him."
In an interview shortly before his retirement, Ross said that he would like people to remember his deanship "as an exciting, pleasant, stimulating time to be part of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions." He also said that when asked if he liked being dean, his standard reply has been: "Yes, 51 percent of the time," and then, adding with a chuckle, "It's really much better than that, possibly 52 percent."

Alumnus Sets Stage For Excellence In Plastic And Reconstructive Surgery
|
Crawley took every opportunity to plead his case to leadership for the division to become its own department, opening doors to visionary leadership and unfettered growth.
"My thought was that we were going to have a hard time getting the very best to lead plastic surgery if we could not offer departmental status," Crawley said.
It was not yet a typical move in plastic and reconstructive surgery; just four or five programs nationwide had taken that step.
