NEOMED Class of 1990 reunites for memorable reunion weekend

After 35 years, the NEOMED Class of 1990 proved that some connections transcend time and distance. Twenty-two alumni gathered in Cleveland over the weekend of June 27-28, 2025 for a reunion that perfectly blended nostalgia with new memories.

The weekend kicked off Friday night at Progressive Field, where classmates cheered on the Cleveland Guardians together. On Saturday, the group explored Cleveland's iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and toured the renowned Cleveland Art Museum. The weekend culminated with a dinner at Taza Restaurant where alumni reconnected and shared life updates, celebrating the diverse paths their NEOMED foundation enabled.

Terry Norchi, M.D. (’90), perfectly encapsulated the enduring nature of their bond, "We've built lives in different places, with different rhythms, but the bonds remain."

The Class of 1990's reunion reminds us that the relationships built during our time at NEOMED create a foundation that lasts a lifetime.

Special thanks to Maya Ghaemmaghami, M.D. (’90), Rochelle Rosian Straffon, M.D. (’90), and Swati Shirali, M.D. (’90), for their planning efforts, and to the NEOMED Alumni Association for supporting this memorable gathering.
