Hampton on the Trail 2009 - ARCHIVE

We are creating an endowed scholarship fund to perpetually
honor Dr. Hampton by annually awarding:
2 Nursing student and 1 Physician Assistant student awards 

 

About Dr. James A. Hampton (1948-2009)
James Hampton PhD, was a long-time resident of the Toledo-area who came to The University of Toledo (Formerly Medical College of Ohio at Toledo - MCO) in 1986 to work in the laboratory and ended up teaching at the University for over 20 years.  Dr. Hampton produced research (credited with four patents, 41 published articles and abstracts in scientific journals, 29 papers and eight chapters in peer-reviewed books) and taught Pathophysiology courses to students in multiple disciplines (Physician Assistant Studies, Nursing, Physical Therapy, Medicine and the Basic Health Sciences).  In 2004, he became a tenured professor and received the Prism Award for teaching excellence in the UT College of Nursing.   

In 2007, Dr. Hampton was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.  Shortly after the diagnosis, this progressive neurodegenerative disease forced him to retire from the work that he so loved.  In 2009, he was named emeritus professor in the College of Nursing.  On December 7, 2009, with his family at his side, Dr. Hampton passed away.  “Hampton on the Trail” is an annual event to honor the man who has touched the lives of so many at The University of Toledo and whose love of the Maumee River inspired this event.  The James Hampton Scholarship Fund benefits students who excel in the pathophysiology courses that Jim taught here at The University of Toledo (specifically Nursing and Physician Assistant students).  We hope that you will support our efforts to endow this fund so that Dr. Hampton will be perpetually honored.
