These winners correctly identified Milton Murray as the employee of Loma Linda University Health who spent more than two decades advocating for the Post Office to release a stamp honoring philanthropy. His dream came true in 1998 with the “Giving & Sharing” stamp.
Milton Murray was Loma Linda University Health’s first-ever employee focused on public relations and development when he started here in 1949. He remained with the organization for about 12 years and built the PR department into an oiled machine of 18 full-time employees, including five stationed at the affiliated White Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles.
Murray was on the planning committee for the 50th anniversary of Loma Linda University Health, which took place in 1955.
