The SGA Osteopathic Pride and Service Committee and the Bio-Med Club hosted a Day of Compassion ceremony October 19 to honor the physicians, faculty, and staff who lost their lives on October 19, 2004.
Four ATSU-KCOM regional assistant deans and two administrative staff died when Corporate Airlines Flight 5966 crashed on arrival just outside Kirksville Regional Airport. They, along with two nationally recognized pediatricians representing the A.P. Gold Foundation, were coming to ATSU to participate in and facilitate a faculty workshop to encourage more compassionate and relationship-centered healthcare.
