Established in 2018, The Lovell Award supports a graduating medical student from UMass Chan Medical School-Baystate who enters a Baystate Health residency program, with a preference for a student entering internal medicine or a residency related to primary care. This award is funded by a grant from the Lovell family.
Dr. Lovell retired after 35 years as a cardiologist in Springfield. With a life-long interest in serving the community, Dr. Lovell helped initiate one of the first cardiac rehab programs in the region at the Springfield YMCA. He was also instrumental in founding the first Ethics Committee at Baystate Medical Center, and served as chair during the early 1980s. In 2005 Dr. Lovell received the American Heart Association's Ralph Gianelly Award for excellence in integrity, leadership and service.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Lovell served on the Board of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra before retiring as its President, and was vice chair of the Connecticut River Watershed Council where he helped energize the annual Source-to-Sea Cleanup.
