Extract
Kurt Kleinmann, who led the pharmacy department at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City for nearly 3 decades, died March 16, 2022, at age 92 years.
Kleinmann was regarded as a visionary leader and progressive pioneer in hospital pharmacy. He led Montefiore’s pharmacy department from 1965 until 1994—the year he received ASHP’s Harvey A.K. Whitney Lecture Award. His forward-thinking Whitney award lecture emphasized the pharmacist’s role as an accountable provider of pharmaceutical care that improves patients’ lives in coordination with other members of the care team.
He was actively involved with ASHP throughout his career. He served on and chaired many ASHP committees, represented New York and Ohio in ASHP’s House of Delegates, and was named an honorary ASHP member this year. He was also involved with state and local pharmacy organizations and served a term as president of what is now the New York State Council of Health-system Pharmacists (NYSCHP).
