Hunter Doherty "Patch" Adams graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in 1971 with a doctoral degree in medicine, People magazine reports. While working in an adolescent clinic at the Medical College of Virginia - VCU's medical campus - in his final year of school, he met Linda Edquist, a fellow VCU student who volunteered in the clinic. Soon after graduation, Patch, Linda and their friends founded the Gesundheit! Institute - originally known as the Zanies - which ran as a free community hospital for 12 years.
