Dr. Joseph B. Touma is known nationally for his medical expertise in orolaryngology. But in Huntington he's equqlly well known for buying and painstakingly restoring a number of downtown retail buildings. While many individuals have refurbished Huntington aging structures over ths years, perhaps no one has done more than Touma. He almost single handedly revamped the south side of Third Avenue in downtown Huntington. He also founded the Touma Medical Museum ---- a unique collection of antique medical artifacts. He and his wife, Dr. Omayma Touma, have presented the Huntington Museum of Art with numerous gifts and art from their home, country of Syria, Many of which are housed in the museum's Touma Near Eastern Gallery.
