The chief of critical care at a Baltimore hospital who helped treat the "sickest" patients, including during the pandemic, died on Saturday of the coronavirus.
Dr. Joseph Costa, 56, was ICU chief at Mercy Medical Center in downtown Baltimore. The hospital confirmed his death in a statement posted to Facebook on Sunday.
“He dedicated his life and career to caring for the sickest patients,” Sister Helen Amos, chair of the hospital’s board of trustee, and David Maine, president and CEO, said in a joint statement. “When the global pandemic came down upon us, Joe selflessly continued his work on the front lines — deeply committed to serving our patients and our City during this time of great need.”
“His memory will live on as an example to us all,” the hospital said.
