Katlic, M.D., Back Mountain resident now serving as Chief of Surgery at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore, has been selected to receive a 2013 Innovator of the Year award from The Daily Record. He was recognized for his pioneering work as the director of the groundbreaking Sinai Center for Geriatric Surgery. The center, which opened in 2012, a former Katlic is the first of its kind in the United States to be dedicated exclusively to provide a new level of specialized surgical and pre- and postoperative care for elderly patients and to improve their treatment through research and educa- tion. Some of the challenges facing this group are inevi- table because conditions that often require surgery — cancer, atherosclerosis, degenerative joint disease, cataracts, prostate disease and gallstones — increase in incidence as people get older. Because of Katlic’s initiatives, hospitals around the country are develop- ing centers similar to the Sinai Center for Geriatric Surgery.
