After nearly a decade in the works, officials on June 13 cut the ribbon on the University of Missouri School of Medicine’s Springfield clinical campus. Located at the site of Lathrop & Gage LLP’s former Springfield office, 1845 S. National Ave., the school represents a public-private partnership between MU, CoxHealth, Mercy Hospital Springfield, Missouri State University and the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. Led by Dr. Andrew Evans, far right, of Mercy Clinic Springfield, the starting local class comprises nine third- and fourth-year students. Also pictured, from left, are Dr. Frank Romero, CoxHealth chief medical officer; Dr. Linda Headrick, senior associate dean for education at the MU School of Medicine; Matt Morrow, president of the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce; Scott Miller, a third-year medical student and part of the inaugural Springfield clinical campus class; and Stuart Stangeland, chief operating officer for Mercy Springfield Clinics.
