UTM honored Dr. Marshall Priest III and his family by naming a Gooch Hall nursing classroom the Priest Family Clinical Excellence Lab.
Dr. Priest was raised in Carroll County, graduated from Huntingdon High School and attended UT Martin, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in 1965.
After becoming an interventional cardiologist in Boise, Idaho, Dr. Marshall Priest III established the Priest Family Clinical Excellence Fund and Endowment in UTM’s Department of Nursing in 2022.
UT Martin Public Relations Director Bud Grimes spoke with Thunderbolt news about Mr. Priest’s impact on the University through his efforts.
The large lab space includes teaching equipment made possible by gifts from Dr. Priest and his wife, Cynthia, a registered nurse.
