The University of South Carolina School of Medicine in Columbia is now officially named in honor of the late longtime trustee and surgeon Dr. Edward "Eddie" Floyd and his wife, Kay Floyd.
Announced Friday (May 22) at a private luncheon attended by members of the Floyd family, trustees and university leadership, the school is now known as the University of South Carolina Kay and C. Edward Floyd, M.D. School of Medicine, which will be more commonly known as the Floyd School of Medicine. The naming celebrates the Floyds' decades-long service and philanthropic support of USC, which totals $30 million. Their giving will fund scholarships for medical students and endowed faculty positions including surgery, neurosurgery, neurology, sports medicine and the basic science.
