The school is being named in Dr. Stryker’s honor because his granddaughter, Ronda Stryker, and her husband made a founding gift of $100 million three years ago to jumpstart the medical school’s development, according to the report.

Dr. Stryker was an orthopedic surgeon in Kalamazoo, which is also the headquarters of the company.

The Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine will open this fall.
