Dr. Mark Kathic
receives Innovator
of the Year Award
Mark R. 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.
