Celebrate the life of Dr. Frank Marcus at the Health Sciences Innovation Building on Monday, February 13 from 5:30-7:30pm.
Dr. Marcus was a pioneer in cardiovascular research and heart health. His impressive career with the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson and Sarver Heart Center led him to understand the root causes of many heart problems, which led him to public health. Frank realized that public health education could change behaviors and improve health for so many patients, so he provided the funding to establish the Childhood Obesity Prevention Initiative in the collaboration with the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. The best tribute to Dr. Marcus would be a gift to this initiative so the fight against obesity will continue.
Frank is greatly missed by his wife, Janet; his children, Ann Marcus Lapidus (Martin Lapidus), Steve Marcus (Tomoko Tashiro Marcus), and Lynn Marcus (Peter Biava); and his grandchildren, Rachel Lapidus (Jonathan Hess), Daniel Lapidus, Nicco Marcus (Chad Saclolo), Jenica Marcus, Amanda Biava, and Julia Biava. The family requests donations honoring Frank may be made to the Obesity Prevention Project Fund at the UA Foundation. You can make your gift online at bit.ly/obesity-prevention-fund or by mail to U of A Foundation, 1111 N. Cherry Ave., PO Box 210109, Tucson, AZ 85721-0109 (with "Public Health Obesity Prevention Project" in the memo line).
