Walter Gamble, MD, an emeritus member of the Penn Medicine Board and 1957 Penn medical school graduate, passed away on November 9, 2025; two months later, on January 17, 2026, his beloved wife and partner Anne Gamble followed.
Anne and Walter will be remembered for their commitment to removing financial barriers to a Perelman School of Medicine education, as well as for the profound kindness and encouragement they shared with generations of medical students.
"Anne and Walter were architects of a vision for tuition-free medical education," said Dean Jonathan A. Epstein, MD. "Their legacy endures through the students whose lives were enhanced by their philanthropy and 30 years of treasured relationships. We all will remain forever grateful for and motivated by their extraordinary lives of service."
