Temple University dedicates medical school to Lewis Katz

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Temple University's medical school has a new name in honor of the late businessman and philanthropist, Lewis Katz.

The Lewis Katz School of Medicine was named officially during a celebration Tuesday morning.

Katz died in a plane crash in 2014.

Prior to his death, the Philadelphia Inquirer co-owner donated $25 million dollars to Temple.

That gift was the single largest donation in Temple's history.

Katz was a Temple graduate and served on its board of trustees.
