She also was a UNMC medical school graduate, and did an internship and her residency here, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Craig Walker, M.D., chair of the UNMC Department of Radiology, said Dr. Saigh was known for both her excellent patient care and her excellent work as an educator of both medical students and residents.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jean had an incredible amount of energy and a devotion and passion for teaching,&#8221; Dr. Walker said. &#8220;She won our medical student teaching award on numerous occasions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>To see Dr. Saigh&#8217;s obituary in the Omaha World-Herald, click <a href=\"http:\/\/www.omaha.com\/obits\/saigh-jean-a\/article_2da778ba-9377-5749-8b6c-77d0699c2b02.html\">here<\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When Anne Hubbard, M.D., came back to UNMC in 2005 to join the radiology faculty, Dr. Saigh was one of the people on hand to make her feel at home.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was the most welcoming person,&#8221; Dr. Hubbard said. &#8220;She was a bright, smiling person who was always willing to help out and could always make your day better.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her commitment to patient care and education, Dr. Saigh was very active around the UNMC campus, including serving on committees, as a member of the faculty senate, on the medical student admissions committees and in other roles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was always trying to advance women&#8217;s status in medicine, at UNMC and in the world,&#8221; Dr. Hubbard said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She was just happy and cheerful, just a kind, gracious person,&#8221; Dr. Hubbard said. &#8220;She continued to have such grace and dignity even as she dealt with multiple sclerosis for years. She always asked how you were doing. Even though she had so many things happen related to the MS, she was always more concerned about everybody else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Please share your memories of Dr. Saigh in the comments box
