Browning has a long commitment to IU School of Medicine, to his patients and to the students who form such an important part of the medical community in southern Indiana. He established the Oncology Hematology Associates of Southwest Indiana Medical Scholarship in 2005 to assist students in overcoming the high cost of attending medical school. Additionally, the Browning family has established three endowed scholarships to encourage medical students from southern Indiana to return home after completing their education to establish their medical practices in the Evansville area. In 2019, Browning was honored with the prestigious J.O. Ritchey Award, which recognizes individuals who have made enduring commitments to the IU School of Medicine in several key areas.
