Endowment
Dr. and Mrs. Shipp and their family have committed $250,000 to establish the John & Reba Shipp Minimally Invasive Surgery Endowment benefiting Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). John Shipp, Ph.D., a nationally known inventor, physicist, and businessman, and his wife, Reba, of Atlantic Beach, Fla., will support research efforts in
the Division of Gastrointestinal and Minimally Invasive Surgery at CMC under the oversight of B. Todd Heniford, MD. Established in 1998, this nationally recognized program brings together a variety of medical specialists dedicated to offering laparoscopic and advanced surgery options for patients with disorders of the stomach,
esophagus and other solid organs.
