The Family House Hall of Fame was inspired by Bob and Paula Johnson who moved to Chapel Hill following their transplant surgeon son, Dr. Mark Johnson. The Johnsons were engaged with a successful hospitality house in their hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. Arriving in Chapel Hill, they saw the need for a hospitality house for traveling UNC patients and their loved ones. They recruited resources and plans for a couple of years, eventually connecting with Bill Friday at UNC who opened many doors. Their efforts began to bear the fruit that would become the wonderful SECU Family House at UNC Hospitals that we know today.

FIRST MEMBERS OF THE HALL OF FAME

The Johnsons exemplify the characteristics for inductees in the Hall of Fame and as such are the original members of this very special program.

On March 2nd, Brian Stabler was posthumously chosen to join the Johnsons as a member of this elite group
