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 physician regional assistant deans and two administrative staff died when Corporate Airlines Flight 5966 crashed on arrival just outside the 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 day-long faculty workshop to encourage more compassionate and relationship-centered healthcare.
