The Baker-Ort Chair

|
About the ChairCreated with a generous gift from Constance M. Baker, R.N., Ed.D., M.A., the chair aims to advance understanding of and expand research and teaching related to healthcare philanthropy locally, nationally and globally. The chair rests in the Center on Philanthropy, a part of the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. Baker created the chair to honor her late former husband, Robert S. Ort, who cared for under-served patients during his career in psychology and psychiatry. Baker and Ort dedicated their professional lives to a universal right to healthcare as an important first step toward civil society, universal peace and human rights. Baker's commitment to these ideals includes her work in helping to develop doctoral and graduate nursing programs in the United States, Mexico, the Philippines, Jordan and Cuba. An alumna of the Center on Philanthropy, she is professor of philanthropic studies and director of graduate studies there, guiding implementation of its Ph.D. in philanthropic studies program. |
