John Glaspy, M.D. '79, M.P.H. '79, professor of medicine at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, was recognized by the Los Angeles Dodgers as a Healthcare All-Star for his many achievements at UCLA Health, the Dodgers’ official medical partner since 2019.

Glaspy, accompanied by his grandson Braden, threw out the first pitch at the Dodgers’ game against the Miami Marlins on Aug. 20.

“Dr. Glaspy exemplifies all things that we want in our UCLA faculty in terms of contributions to research, education and excellent clinical care,” says Lee Rosen, M.D., a professor of medicine in hematology-oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a former trainee under Glaspy. “I can think of many times, however many years after my fellowship, I still use skills I learned from John in how to speak with patients and conduct research. … And in terms of his direct patient care, there are millions of patients that John has touched and whose families he’s affected.”
