The Dr. Eli Davis Memorial Fund
The Dr. Eli Davis Memorial Fund supports the Dr. Eli Davis Memorial Nursing Award, recognizing top-performing nursing students in operating and recovery room studies at UNB Saint John.
Dr. Eli Davis was a well-respected Anaesthesiologist, having graduated from Saint John High School, the University of New Brunswick and Dalhousie University where he later taught as Associate Professor in Anaesthesia. He served as the Director of Medical Education and Chief of Anaesthesia at the Saint John General Hospital, and as President of the Saint John Medical Society.
