Doy B. Henley School of Management to Launch in Chapmanâs Argyros College
A gift from Board of Trustees Chairman Emeritus Doy Henley will establish the Doy B. Henley School of Management within the Argyros College of Business and Economics. The gift was announced following Chapman Universityâs 2024 State of the University address on Feb. 9. âChapman is what it is today because of Doy Henley and his incredible leadership on the Board of Trustees,â said Chapman President Daniele C. Struppa, who announced the gift with Henley on the Musco Center stage amid confetti and applause. âWith his great success in the business community and as a board leader, itâs fitting that the school of management will bear his name.â This is Henleyâs second gift to Argyros College in the past year. In November, Henley gave a $1 million gift to establish an endowed fund that is dedicated to driving innovation initiatives within the college. Henley owned Aeromil Aircraft Engineering, which pioneered a manufacturing method to machine special surfaces in aerospace products. He also owned Cox Hobbies, one of the earliest companies to use electronic data for supply chain management.

Providence St. Joseph Hospital Implants First Dual Chamber Leadless Pacemaker on West Coast
A heart specialist at Providence St. Joseph Hospital in Orange has successfully implanted a first-of-its-kind wireless pacemaker that has the ability to control both heart chambers using synchronized wireless communication. The revolutionary pacemaker has recently received FDA clearance and consists of two small AAA battery-sized capsules that are inserted directly into the heart during a minimally invasive procedure in which patients can return home the same-day. Approximately three million Americans live with pacemakers, which are commonly used for patients with a low or abnormal heart rhythm. Existing technology pacemakers control just one chamber of the heart and itâs estimated more than 80 percent of the patients who require pacemakers need a device that controls both chambers of the heart. âThis is truly a breakthrough with a technological advancement thatâs like the difference between dial-up internet and high-speed Wi-Fi,â said Brian Kim, MD, the cardiology and electrophysiology specialist with Providence St. Joseph Hospital who performed the procedure.
