The Walter L. Stilson Endowed Chair for Radiology honors his lifelong service (1935-1983) that emphasized patient care and education. Dr. Kido received the endowed chair because he demonstrates the qualities and commitment that WALTER L. STILSON ’34 advocated during his tenure at LLUH. This endowed chair was established to support academic growth throughout the radiology department.*
