Dr. Hamilton, inducted into the IATA Hall of Fame in 1984, was an orthopedic physician heavily involved in athletics. He served as team physician for DePaul University and Gordon Tech H.S. at the time he passed away, and previously for the University of Illinois and other universities and high schools. He was a mentor for several athletic trainers and always very supportive of the athletic trainers’ role on the sports medicine team.
