The Flynn Family

Karen and Stuart Flynn moved to Fort Worth in the summer of 2016, arriving from Phoenix, Arizona, where Dr. Flynn was the Dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix. He has assumed the position of Founding Dean of the new Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center School of Medicine.
Karen is a graduate of the University of Connecticut and received her MBA while working as a cytotechnologist at Yale University. Stuart received his MD from the University of Michigan where he also completed his residency training in anatomic and clinical pathology. He then completed his fellowship training in surgical and molecular pathology and joined the faculty at Stanford University. Prior to moving to Arizona, he was on the faculty at Yale University for 20 years, where he lead significant advances in patient care, research and education. He was named one of America’s top physicians, lead the Yale medical school’s curriculum and residency program, was named as Yale’s top educator, and also lead a successful research lab focused on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, most notably breast cancer, lymphoma and leukemia.
Karen and Stuart are pictured with three of their five children, Conor (16), Dillon (12), and Bailey (9). They have acclimated nicely in their transition from Phoenix and are enjoying getting to know their new city and state, experiencing the beautiful and vibrant downtown Fort Worth and beautiful Tarrant County, as well as all of the wonderful people they have met. All three children play a variety of sports and enjoy playing the violin and piano. Their older sisters, Andrea and Shannon, are both physicians, a pediatric oncologist and ENT surgeon in training, respectfully.
