THE TRADITON OF ENDOWED PROFESSORSHIPS
The first endowed professorships were established more than 500 years ago with
the creation of the Lady Margaret Beaufort Professors of Divinity at Oxford and
Cambridge Universities. The original endowed chairs were sponsored by Lady
Margaret, Countess of Richmond, and grandmother of Henry VIII in 1502.
Subsequently, private individuals began making financial contributions to
establish other endowed professorships and chairs such as the Lucasian Chair of
Mathematics, which Sir Isaac Newton held beginning in 1669. Professor Stephen
Hawking, the internationally renowned physicist and recipient of the 2010 US
Medal of Freedom, was another prominent holder of this endowed chair.
The honor associated with appointment to an endowed position has remained
unchanged for the last 500 years and is recognized as one of the highest tributes
that an academic institution can bestow upon its most distinguished faculty.
These endowed professorships and chairs continue to reward exceptional scholars
uninterrupted to the present time.
The Office of Development is charged with securing private gifts to ensure the
School’s tradition of excellence is sustained through robust research, clinical, and
educational programs and initiatives. The University of Maryland School of
Medicine is fortunate to have nearly 85 endowed chairs & professorships in
various stages of completion and held by esteemed faculty members.

JANE KROH SATTERFIELD, PT
Jane Kroh Satterfield, born and raised in
Baltimore, was born on February 17, 1942 in
Baltimore City and sadly passed away on May 10,
2020 in Towson, MD. From a very young age,
Jane knew she wanted to help people however she
could. Having struggled with learning throughout
her formative years (only later learning that she
had dyslexia) likely played a large role in her desire
to enhance life for others, especially the youth
population.
In true Baltimore style, Jane stayed local for all of her schooling. She attended St. Dominic
Elementary School and went on to graduate high school from Notre Dame Preparatory
School (NDP) in 1960. After NDP, she attended the University of Maryland School of
Medicine (UMSOM) graduating in 1964 with a BS in Physical Therapy. She later attended
the Johns Hopkins University where she received her MS in 1981.
Working as a young physical therapist in various facilities, Jane saw firsthand how families
of children with special needs juggled doctors and therapy appointments while
simultaneously working full-time and raising families. With the help of two colleagues,
CARE Rehab, Inc. was formed in 1984. CARE stood for Consultation, Adaptation,
Rehabilitation, and Education and brought health care services to children with special
needs in their homes. Eventually, CARE Rehab became Care Resources, Inc. and grew to
become one of the nation’s premier rehabilitation companies expanding beyond Physical
Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Language Pathology to include nursing, social
work, special education, and more.
Jane was a strong advocate for education. She was a huge proponent of individuals with
special needs being afforded the same options as others and lobbied extensively for the
IDEA legislation. She served on the Maryland Governor’s Task Force to devise a plan to
integrate school-age children into special education programs within the state’s publicschool
systems. She also taught at both the UMSOM Department of Physical Therapy and
Rehabilitation Science (PTRS) and Johns Hopkins University. Additionally, she lectured
extensively on topics such as pediatric physical therapy and the law related to individuals
with special needs.
Jane’s accomplishments are well known in the Baltimore and the UMSOM community. In
1981, she received The Henry O. and Florence P. Kendall Award from the Maryland
Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association for her outstanding service to the
profession. UMSOM awarded her with the Dean’s Distinguished Gold Medal for Public
Service in 2012.
Jane’s record of generous gifts to the UMSOM PTRS has been remarkable. In addition to
the Jane Kroh Satterfield Endowed Professorship in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation
Science, she established the Pediatric Physical Therapy Award and gave a challenge match
to establish the PTRS Endowment Fund. In addition, Jane supported the PTRS Annual
Fund and several scholarships, capital projects, and operational initiatives within PTRS,
including the Class of 1964 PTRS Scholarship Endowment.
