On March 27, 2007, J. Paul Sticht, former chairman of R.J. Reynolds and long-time supporter of Wake Forest University, passed away after suffering from long-term health problems. He was eighty-nine. Sticht left behind a legacy as a business and community leader in Winston-Salem. The J. Paul Sticht Center for Aging and Rehabilitation was named in recognition of his vision for and passionate belief in the Center’s ultimate benefit to the length and quality of life for the aging population in his community. It was the first facility in the world to incorporate geriatric acute care, transitional care, psychiatry, and rehabilitation under one roof. The Sticht Center is one of the premier centers in North America for geriatric medicine, education and research. |
