In Loving Memory of Michael Frogel, MD, FAAP
It is with great sadness and regret that the New York City Pediatric Disaster Coalition (NYCPDC) and National Pediatric Disaster Coalition (NPDC) announces the passing of our own Dr. Michael “Mike” Frogel following a recent severe illness. Mike was a force of nature leading the mission to improve the health and welfare of children his entire remarkable 50-year career, never slowing down, doing what he loved up until the end of his auspicious story.
Mike was a founding member of both the NYCPDC and NPDC. He honorably served the NYCPDC as a Co-Principal Investigator since the coalition’s inception in 2008 and as the first Chairman of the NPDC from its establishment in 2015 up until his recent death. The mission of both coalitions is to prepare our city and communities around our nation for disasters impacting children and there was no greater example of a leader than Mike Frogel. Under Mike’s leadership the NYCPDC has grown to include 28 hospitals, pediatric long-term care facilities, pediatric outpatient and urgent care centers, the New York City Fire Department/Bureau of Emergency Medical Services, New York City Emergency Management, New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, and the New York City Healthcare Coalition (NYCHCC) which includes all five borough coalitions, community-based organizations, and a cohort of pediatric subject matter experts.
