In the death of Dr, Stanley M. Clark Sr., Provo has lost one of its best-known long-time medical leaders and practitioners. “Dr. Stan,” who died at age 82, had been a physician and surgeon here for half a century before retiring a few years ago. Even in retirement he maintained an active interest in the Clark Clinic 4 which he helped establish and in the community and its affairs. Endowed with a sharp intellect and an ability to make friends, Dr. Clark was a leader in his profession. He served as president of the Medical Staff of the Utah Valley Hospital and as president of the Utah County Medical Society. A member of the American Medical Association and Utah State Medical Association, he was honorary president of the latter organization in 1971-72, He and his brothers – Dr. R. Garn Clark. Dr. J. Cecil Clark, and Dr. Eldon D. Clark, all now deceased – founded the Clark Clinic in 1924. This has been and continues to be one of Provo’s respected medical institutions and Dr. Stan’s three sons continue to operate the clinic in true Clark tradition. Dr. Clark and his brothers also were strong backers of the movement to establish the Utah Valley Hospital in the late 1930s. His long medical career spanned the era of the versatile “country doctor” type service to the modern practice of medicine with its many and varied specialists. In the “old days” he delivered hundreds of babies in the home – and the total deliveries over which he presided during his long career would amount to an exceedingly large number. In civic work he was a long-time member of the Provo Kiwanis Club which he served as president. A World War I veteran, he also was a member of the American Legion. He found time in his busy life to serve as a director of the Provo Savings and Loan Association, He was among those who provided leadership in establishing the Provo branch of Zions First National Bank and served on the board for many years. Congenial, likable, and with a delightful sense of humor, Dr. Clark developed a wide friendship among the people of the Provo area during his medical practice, He was always proud of Brigham Young University, from which he graduated in 1917 before receiving his medical training at the Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia, and he had great faith in the community and its institutions which he served. The Herald salutes Dr. Stan for his many accomplishments. In his passing, we extend sincere sympathy to his wife and family. So They Say “We have only one mandate. That is to govern the whole country.” – Canada’s Prime Minister, Pierre Trudeau, explaining that his government would not negotiate any form of independence for Quebec, despite the recent victory of the French separatist party in that province.
