Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks has made a major gift to help establish a $3 million endowed chair in otolaryngology at the Keck School of Medicine of USC, university officials announced Thursday.
The newly created Stevie Nicks and Joseph Sugerman, MD, Endowed Chair in Otolaryngology honors Beverly Hills ear, nose and throat specialist Dr. Joseph Sugerman, a USC alumnus and longtime faculty member who has treated performers and other patients for nearly five decades, according to the university.
Nicks' contribution completed fundraising for the endowed chair, which was also supported by donations from several foundations and individual donors, officials said.
