Eugene Stanley Brusky (December 10, 1921 – March 7, 2013) was an American doctor and team physician for the Green Bay Packers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL). Brusky was born in Pulaski, Wisconsin, before attending Marquette University for his undergraduate and medical degrees. He and his brother, Alvin, started a small medical practice in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which grew to become the West Side Clinic. He also helped re-establish St. Mary's Hospital in Green Bay. In 1962, head coach and general manager Vince Lombardi asked Brusky to be the team physician for the Packers, a position that initially was unpaid. He accepted and stayed in that role for 29 years before retiring in 1990. In recognition of his contributions to the team, Brusky was inducted into the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1987. He died on March 7, 2013, at the age of 91.
