“Dr. Kass treated my mother, Marjorie Logan, for many years. Because of him she had many years of sight. She did finally lose all vision a year before she died in 2006. Our family is truly grateful for the wonderful care that Dr. Kass and his staff showed to my mother. As I have recently been diagnosed with glaucoma, I feel it is very important to support research. Please let Dr. Kass know how grateful we are for the care he gave her.”
Sincerely,
Joyce Day
Marjorie Logan’s glaucoma was horrendous, but she faced it with determination and deep trust in her physician, Dr. Michael Kass.
“My mother kept her sight for more than 20 years with the help of Dr. Kass,” says Joyce Day, Marjorie’s daughter. “She was a great patient to begin with, heading Dr. Kass’ guidance diligently. And the care she received was absolutely outstanding.”
Dr. Kass performed several surgeries on Marjorie and monitored her condition closely, even seeing her on Christmas. Each time she was in the hospital, Joyce says that the staff treated her mother “like a queen.”
“Barnes-Jewish is the best,” says Joyce. “My husband and I are glad to support its work, especially in research.”
Through their tribute gift in honor of Dr. Kass, Joyce and Dr. Michael Day are helping the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation support glaucoma research in St. Louis that will change lives well beyond our region. We are delighted to help them express their gratitude!
