It is with heavy hearts that we report the passing of Jay M. McDonald, M.D., Professor Emeritus and former chair of the UAB Department of Pathology, on June 5, 2019.
Dr. McDonald left a legacy of integrity and vision in our Department, where he served as chair for nearly 20 years, and across the institution. His passing is a true loss for the field of pathology.
Jay M. McDonald, M.D.
