Norman Maldonado, (born 1935 in Adjuntas,[1] Puerto Rico), is one of Puerto Rico's top hematologists and served as President[2] of the University of Puerto Rico (UPR).
He studied elementary school in Adjuntas and high school in Ponce, standing out as a committed student. He obtained with honors the Bachelor of Arts at the Polytechnic of San Germán and a doctorate in Medicine at the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine, carved with the highest honor of being the first of its class.[3]
In 1992, during his presidency, he also chaired the pro-statehood New Progressive Party's platform-drafting committee.[4] In the years following the election, he helped the governor Pedro Rosselló to initiate the reform of Puerto Rico's health system.[4] Since 2005, he has published numerous columns for The San Juan Star newspaper, many of them documenting Puerto Rico's medical history.
The Puerto Rico Senate recently passed a bill naming the Puerto Rico Medical Center's University Hospital after Dr. Maldonado, the only medical doctor to have held the post of UPR President.
A native of the mountain town of Adjuntas, he is married to Mary Anne Maldonado, a well known feminist and social activist, and has five grown-up children and six grandchildren.
