In Memoriam
Kevin L. Martin, MD
1964-2021
The Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Dr. Kevin Martin on February 17, 2021. He was 56 years old.
Dr. Martin was a Cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital and a Clinical Instructor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. He graduated from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and completed a residency, hypertension and cardiology fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital. He was board-certified in internal medicine and cardiovascular disease with special interest in hypertension and stroke prevention.
ABC Past President Icilma Fergus Rowe said in a statement. “Kevin was a gentleman physician at all times – well loved by his patients and peers alike. I had the opportunity to work alongside him on an ABC community project in the New York City area, which turned out to be a very successful event based in part on Kevin’s contributions. He will be sorely missed.
Our hearts go out to his entire family and to his many friends and patients whose lives he touched with his special care.

I am grieved at the passing of a colleague and family member- a country-man, a gentleman of a Physician.
Kevin- I believe you can see these notes from upstairs in the heavens.
You are loved and missed.

This is awful news. I hadn't seen Dr. Martin because of Covid and only just now discovered his passing.
He was kind, thoughtful and professional. And actually may have saved my life by recommending tests for an undiagnosed condition.
I'm heartbroken for his family.
My email is peter.ivan.fleming@gmail.com in case I have records to obtain.

A superior human being and a beloved doctor. Visits to Dr. Martin not only necessary for good heart health but good for the soul and mind. I never left the office without a smile . He will be sorely missed.

I am missing him now we laugh together share concern about my health a very gentle doctor we talk about my daughter and goddaughter so encouraging to me. Where will I find another doctor like him.

I shall miss my dear dear Doc Martin. Every visit he would make sure I was still healthy and then we would talk about all the places we had been to, and the many more we planned to visit, trade tid bits about what to do and not, when to go and how. I never imagined he would leave this life before me. There is a huge ache in my heart knowing I will never again be able to trade travel stories with him. A true gentleman, a kind and patient doctor. Where will I find another? Rest in Peace Doc!❤️

Dr. Martin was a great physician. Very kind and made someone like me who is known as a nervous patient feel comfortable.
His gentle and concerned manner for care will be greatly missed.
