Humble Beginnings Inspire Gary Matoren To Support Renaissance School of Medicine and Health Sciences Students
Difficult moments in people’s lives often are the catalyst to manifest positive things. Gary Matoren lost his daughter at the age of 9. Debbie Lynn was born with a heart defect he said was due to a drug his wife was prescribed for morning sickness. As a result, Gary dedicated his career to healthcare fields such as pharmacy, administration and clinical research. He is now creating a legacy at Stony Brook by leaving his estate to help graduate students continue their pursuit of researching and discovering ways to prevent genetic disorders.
