History:
Dr. Tom Nolan was the director of the cardio-pulmonary laboratory at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital from 1967 to
1978. A pioneer in the field of cardiology, Dr. Nolan built the original cardiac catheterization lab at Cone Hospital. His
contributions were the cornerstones for the open heart sugery program in Greensboro. His work in pediatric cardiology
meant children in Greensboro could get sophisticated cardiac care without having to travel to distant cities with large
teaching hospitals. Dr. Nolan was a kind, disarming man who is remembered for his character as well as his medical skills.
Administration:
In honor of Dr. Tom Nolan, the Medical Society/Alliance Endowment fund donates $1000 each year to an Internal
Medicine Teaching Resident at Cone Health. The Tom Nolan Award nominees are submitted by staff members and a new
award winner is selected each year.
