Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) President David J. Cole, M.D., FACS, released the following statement on the passing of U.S. Sen. Lindsey O. Graham:
Sen. Lindsey Graham’s untimely passing represents a tremendous loss for our state. A devoted public servant whose four decades of service included the military, the South Carolina House, the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, Sen. Graham touched the lives of millions of constituents, and his warmth and wit turned countless of those constituents into friends.
Just as Sen. Graham fought every single day for South Carolina families, he was a fierce advocate for MUSC. He understood the positive impact that a person in his position could have on healthcare outcomes across the state he loved by working together with members of our team and others. Thanks to this partnership, MUSC patients, including our veterans, have benefited from trailblazing treatments and research funding for diseases that range from Alzheimer’s to cancer. MUSC could not have had a better partner than Sen. Graham, and we will miss him.
Our thoughts are with Darline, the senator’s loyal staff and all of his loved ones.
Sincerely,
President David J. Cole, M.D., FACS
