Salus Honors Presidential Medal of Honor, Alumni Association Award Winners
When Kerry Burrell, OD ‘03, found out his mentor and business partner Glenn Corbin, OD ‘82, was being awarded the Salus University Presidential Medal of Honor, the first thing he did was contact Jacqueline Patterson, vice president of Institutional Advancement and Community Relations at the University, to see if he could somehow be involved in the annual recognition reception.
“I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to share my feelings about Glenn,” said Dr. Burrell.
Those feelings run strong. Dr. Burrell initially completed his externship in Dr. Corbin’s office while a student at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University. And the two eventually entered into practice together.
But even more than that, Dr. Burrell was just 12 years old when his father passed away. Two older brothers helped fill that void — as did Dr. Corbin.
It was one of several special moments at the reception, which celebrated outstanding achievements and extraordinary philanthropic support on Sept. 18, 2023, at Morris Arboretum and Gardens in Philadelphia.
