A tribute to David B. Skinner, M.D.

Dr. David B. Skinner, dear friend, colleague and mentor to so many in the surgical community, died in New York on January 24, 2003, one day after suffering a massive cerebral hemorrhage. He was 67 years old. Dr. Skinner served as a role model for academic surgeons, demonstrating the balance and commitment needed to achieve excellence in research, teaching and clinical surgery while maintaining the values of family and community. His leadership in restructuring the nation’s largest academic healthcare delivery system will have a lasting impact on improving healthcare in this country.
