In 1992, after caring for many patients and delivering over 10,000 babies, Dr. Blucher A. Taylor '63 retired from practice in obstetrics and gynecology. However, he did not put to rest his desire to help others.
For eight years, he has served his community and kept up his medical skills as a member of SORT (Special Operations Response Team), a non-profit disaster medical organization based in Forsyth County that provides state-of-the-art medicine in austere settings.
Taylor has been instrumental in the acquisition and maintenance of the OB-GYN equipment used during SORT's deployments to eastern North Carolina in the wake of Hurricane Floyd and to St. Thomas, where they cared for over 1,500 victims of Hurricane Marilyn.
As a current Medical Alumni Association board member and past committee member, he also remains dedicated to the Wake Forest University School of Medicine.
"Not many people get to do what they really want in life. The Medical School gave me the opportunity to do what I really wanted—to practice medicine with a great education," Taylor said.
By establishing the Lampley '45 - Taylor' 63 Scholarship Fund in memory of Dr. and Mrs. Charles Lampley and in honor of his wife, Mrs. Frances Taylor, he is ensuring that future generations will have the same opportunity. |
