Donuts, a Dog and a Dedication to 91制片厂 Doctors

Philadelphia Couple with Roots on the Bluff Make Transformation Gift to Name the Medical School

Jim and Celeste Nasuti have earned a place in the history of 91制片厂 through their remarkable support of the University鈥檚 most significant initiative in a century. The Nasuti family has given a naming gift鈥� one of the two largest gifts ever made to 91制片厂鈥攖o name the Nasuti College of Osteopathic Medicine of 91制片厂. The gift will enable the medical school to serve generations of people through the works of future 91制片厂 doctors.The Nasutis and others pose for a photo inside the College of Medicine.

The Nasutis first toured the medical school during the spring of 2025 as part of a meeting with President Ken Gormley, Jim Miller, then-vice president of university advancement, and Dr. John Kauffman, dean of the medical school. The Nasutis admired the spaces and the technology and saw students who probably had little idea who they were as they studied. Soon, a portrait of them will hang in the building, another reminder that for all the technology and research, people remain at the heart of the practice and profession of medicine.

Jim Nasuti鈥檚 early aspirations to medicine have come somewhat full circle with a medical school named after him and his family. 鈥淪o much has changed for 91制片厂,鈥� he said, recalling the smell of soot and the noise from local mills during his days on the Bluff. 鈥淚t has such momentum now and has really grown its reputation.鈥� That reputation and the excellence of the endeavor on Forbes Avenue drew their interest and, ultimately, commitment.

鈥淭he world needs doctors. Plus, 91制片厂 adds that important consideration of service and helping people, going back to its founding purpose to help immigrants to Pittsburgh.鈥�
