Robert Haggerty, former URMC Chair of Pediatrics, dies at 92

Robert Haggerty, M.D., former Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, died on Tuesday. He was 92. Throughout a career that spanned six decades, Haggerty led numerous child health initiatives that changed the way that pediatricians — and in some cases, entire health systems — practice medicine. His substantial contributions to the field were so wide-reaching and varied that a colleague once referred to him as “the Joe DiMaggio of pediatrics.”
