Ruth S. Chinn
October 13, 2025
Ruth S. Chinn - I first met Ken Lewis when I was hired to be his secretary while he was the Chairman of the Department of Medicine and
Chief of Cardiology at Franklin Square Hospital. This was an exciting time as he was in the process of developing the world's first rechargeable pacemaker. At the same time he was also starting the Medical Residency Program at the hospital and Chesapeake Cardiovascular Associates. We were very busy. Ken was brilliant and kind and beloved by his patients and staff and all who knew him. His picture and achievements were on display at the Smithsonium Institute in DC. He was such a tribute to Medicine and to those whom he served. It was a privilege to work with him for 20 years
