Notes

"Harold W. Jones, MD was the first [Thomas Jefferson University] Cardeza director and presided from 1939 to 1954. He was a respected Hematologist and personal physician to Mrs. Mary R. Cardeza. He developed a vision for a Division of Hematology that was 100 years ahead of his time by proposing what today we would call “Translational Research.” Specifically, Dr. Jones envisioned a Hematology Division that would include a detailed laboratory study of patient blood using specially trained personnel, another component of basic research and a third facet that would provide carefully matched blood for transfusion. Dr. Jones was one of the founders of the Jefferson Society for Clinical Investigation."
