The distinguished service of C. Douglas Maynard (’56, MD ’59) has
played a vital role in the University’s past and in its future.
Doug Maynard speaks softly but dreams big. And his dreams
have played a big role in the history of Wake Forest.
Maynard, for many years head of the Department of
Radiology at the School of Medicine, is spearheading efforts
to bring thousands of research jobs to Winston-Salem. While
the medical school’s expanded Piedmont Triad Research
Park campus could be an economic catalyst for the entire
region, Maynard would just as soon stay unnoticed in his
small Meads Hall office and let someone else get the congratulations.
“He never wants to focus on his accomplishments,”
said co-worker Donna Garrison. “He always wants
to make sure others get credit.”
