Last summer, a $25,000 gift from Claude “Earl” Fox, MD, MPH, to UAB’s School of Public Health was the final push that allowed the school’s Magic City LGBTQ Health Studies Endowed Professorship to transition to become the Magic City LGBTQ Heath Studies Endowed Chair.
Fox and 130 other donors gave to support the work of Sarah MacCarthy, Sc.D., who joined the faculty in December 2021. MacCarthy arrived at UAB as a nationally recognized researcher in health disparities faced by racially and ethnically diverse sexual and gender minority populations.
