Med Center Health to match donations to research and education fund
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Med Center Health has announced it will match contributions dollar-for-dollar, up to $50,000, to the recently established Rebecca D. Shadowen Research and Education Fund.
Med Center Health Foundation created the fund to recognize the achievements of Dr. Shadowen during her career as a practicing physician in Southcentral Kentucky and continue growth in the areas of research and education. Shadowen recently died after a battle with COVID-19.
Shadowen, an infectious disease specialist, often remarked “science improves outcomes for patients and saves lives.”

“Dr. Rebecca Shadowen will always be remembered as an extraordinary physician, an educator, and a mentor who truly enjoyed teaching residents, medical students, and members of our community, ” said Connie Smith, president and chief executive officer of Med Center Health. “Med Center Health is honored to continue her legacy by matching donations to the fund.
