Randolph-Macon College Board of Trustees Chair, Sue Schick ‘84, and President Robert R. Lindgren welcome the recently elected Dr. Thomas M. Hubbard as the newest member of the college’s Board of Trustees.

Hubbard earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from RMC in 1975 before attending dental school at the University of Maryland and graduating in 1979. After working in Amelia, Va., for a short time, he established his own dental practice in Lawrenceville, Va., in 1981. In 1984, Hubbard also began attending the Medical College of Virginia, where he graduated in 1988 and completed his internship in family practice in 1989. After his residency at Blackstone Family Practice, he returned to Ashland in 1991 to work at the Ashland Medical Center where he continues to practice medicine as the Managing Partner. He retired from his dental practice in 2020.

Among his many interests, Hubbard and his wife, Susan Marshall Hubbard ’76 established the Hanover Interfaith Free Clinics in 2006, with five locations throughout the county providing free medical, dental, and eye care to residents of Hanover County who are uninsured. Tom is the Medical/Dental Director and serves on the Board of Directors for the organization. He and Susan relish the role they play in mentoring RMC students who complete internships at the clinic to gain experience in the fields of medicine, nursing, and dentistry.

Hubbard was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year by the Virginia Academy of Family Physicians in both 2009 and 2017. Randolph-Macon also honored him with the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2010 and the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award in 2019 (for which Susan was given the companion Mary Mildred Sullivan Award). Hubbard has also served as an Associate Clinical Professor in the VCU Department of Family Medicine, and as a member of the Board of Directors for Virginia Family Physicians. He will also serve as a preceptor for Randolph-Macon’s Physician Assistant graduate studies program, which welcomes its first class in January of 2023.
