Donald Palmisano MD JD FACS

Dear Robin, I just learned of Donald's death yesterday (July 16, 2023) from the Tulane Alumni News I don't know how I could have missed the news of such a significant event, since I still get AMA and LSMS publications every week. Liz and I are sorry that his valuable life ended so tragically. When we were young, we were adversaries until I realized what a charismatic leader he was through turbulent times for LSMS, AMA and organized medicine in general. He earned my profound respect and...

Robin Ollie and I were saddened to read about Donald´s passing. Our deepest sympathy. Karen and Ollie Edmunds

What an accomplished man! I met Mr. Donald through his daughter and fellow RN, Mary Ellen when I was 18 yrs old at Charity Hospital School of Nursing. He was always a man on the move. Besides his seemingly incredulous resume, he was also a kind, warm, and true individual. He always made me feel welcomed. The advances he helped to make in every field he was in will carry forward forever and so will his heartfelt memory. My sincere condolences to his entire family.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dr. Donna & family: so sorry to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you all.
