A lifelong Atlanta resident, Alex Cooley grew up around the
Morningside and Glen Iris neighborhoods near Emory. Whenever anyone in his
family needed medical care, “It’s always been Emory,” he says. He credits Emory for
saving his vision and his life. In gratitude, Cooley has made a bequest to support the
Emory Eye Center and the Division of Cardiology at Emory School of Medicine.
The gift honors retina specialist Baker Hubbard, who treated Cooley when
complications of diabetes threatened his sight, and cardiologist Gerard McGorisk,
who Cooley says saved his life after a heart attack. “I feel like I owe a debt for
everything they’ve done for me,” he says.
