ALL ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UC SAN DIEGO

SUBJECT:    Celebration of Life for Tom McAfee, MD

UC San Diego will hold a “Celebration of Life” to honor Dr. Tom McAfee who was, until very recently, the Dean of Clinical Affairs for UC San Diego Health Sciences and CEO for UC San Diego Faculty Practice. Dr. McAfee was tragically killed in an accident while on vacation in Africa.

Community members, faculty and staff are invited to join us in honoring Dr. McAfee. UC San Diego Health System Chaplain Mark Reeves will officiate.

The memorial event will take place on Thursday, October 10, at the main auditorium in the Medical Education and Telemedicine building on campus from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., followed by light refreshments in the courtyard. Parking for the event will be available in lot P602 with overflow in the Gilman parking structure.

Dr. McAfee was adventurous in spirit, loved to visit new places and to meet new people. His death is a great loss – both to many of us personally and to the field of health care. We look forward to celebrating his life.
