Fallen COVID-19 Heroes: In addition to our usual In Memoriam section, due to COVID-19, we are highlighting the alumni who have passed away providing direct care to the most heavily impacted populations during this pandemic.
James A. Mahoney, MD’ 86
has passed away. Dr. Mahoney is remembered for nicknaming his residents, telling casino stories, and most importantly serving his Downstate community. “*Dr. Mahoney was a proud product and family member of SUNY Downstate Medical Center/Kings County Hospital Center since 1986 when he commenced his internship followed by internal medicine residency and a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care medicine. He joined the pulmonary and critical care medicine faculty immediately after completing his fellowship in 1993 and has remained a steadfast member of the SUNY Downstate Medical Center/Kings County Hospital Center family, where he has been teaching and training the next generation of healthcare workers including fellows, housestaff and medical students.”
