Abstract
Dr Hassan Najafi, an immigrant from Iran who became the 18th president of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, died on May 20, 2017. He had also served as chair of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and the Residency Review Committee for Thoracic Surgery, and was a founding member and first president of the Thoracic Surgery Directors Association. A superb technical surgeon, educator, and investigator, Dr Najafi led the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery at Rush University Medical Center for 25 years. Refined and charismatic, he was wholly devoted to his patients, family, trainees, colleagues, and our profession.
