Museum gets funds for cranial collection
Posted: November 4, 2011
The Cranial Academy Foundation extended funds to the Museum of Osteopathic MedicineSM and International Center for Osteopathic History to support the Viola Frymann Legacy Collection.
The collection comprises the life work of Viola Frymann, D.O., FAAO, FCA, a pioneer, innovator, advocate, and friend of the osteopathic profession for more than 50 years. The gift will help the museum assess, prioritize, and make Dr. Frymann’s unique work available for education and research.
“There are few among us who are more worthy of high esteem and few who have such a distinguished body of work as the profession’s beloved Dr. Viola Frymann,” said Michael Lockwood, D.O., ’81, FCA, president of The Cranial Academy Foundation.
The Cranial Academy Foundation is dedicated exclusively to teaching, advocating, and advancing osteopathic medicine, specifically osteopathic medicine in the cranial field. “It is distinctly our honor to aid in the research and advancement of the Osteopathic Paradigm and Sutherland concepts,” Dr. Lockwood said. “Members of the board of directors embrace the philosophy that serving is not an obligation or opportunity but a gift.”
