Holly Smith, MD

Joining UCSF as chair of the Department of Medicine in 1964, Lloyd Hollingsworth "Holly" Smith, Jr., MD, led the University through the booming postwar years to build much of the framework that established UCSF as a world-class institution. While professor emeritus, he continues to serve the school today with the same professional acumen and warm-hearted humor and grace that has made him a beloved figure at the school.
