Appreciation for the generosity of a grateful patient will be center stage this evening as The University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences Dean’s Club honors the recipient of a heart transplant.

Tonight from 6-8 p.m. in the Mulford Annex Bryan Lounge on the UT Health Science Campus, members of The Dean’s Club will pay tribute to Alfred and Adela Mundt, a family that has helped advance the health and well being of the greater Toledo-area through their support of The University of Toledo Medical Center.

The couple will receive the Ashel Bryan Distinguished Volunteer Award given to those who have impacted and made significant donations to the College of Medicine and Life Sciences.

After Alfred Mundt suffered a heart attack in 1983 and was treated at the former Medical College of Ohio Hospital, he and Adela continued to donate to and support UTMC’s cardiac system and heart transplant programs in gratitude for the medical care and treatment they received.

The Distinguished Volunteer Award is named for Ashel Bryan, former chair of the MCO Board of Trustees and well-known local businessman and philanthropist. Bryan and his wife, Dorothy, were longtime supporters of the Health Science Campus; their generosity provided an infusion center and supported renovations to the pharmacy, a boardroom and a student lounge, as well as a number of scholarships and endowments.

The annual event also recognizes UT faculty and community members who continue to help advance the College of Medicine and Life Sciences through donation and support for a variety of programs and activities.
