In recognition of his service to the hospital and Kent County community, Support Our Hospital group presented a portrait of Dr. Gerard “Jerry” O’Connor that now hangs in the third floor surgical wing of University of Maryland Shore Medical Center at Chestertown. Receiving the portrait is Dennis Welsh (right), executive director, Shore Medical Center at Chestertown, with Dr. O’Connor.

In addition to his 37-year career as general surgeon, Dr. O’Connor also led the Save the Hospital initiative to keep inpatient beds and key services at Chestertown’s hospital. He was honored in 2021 by the Kent County Chamber of Commerce with the Community Excellence Individual of the Year Award and continues to make his home in Chestertown.

    Our community has been so fortunate to have many fine physicians in this area so that we did not always have to go “over to the Western Shore” so receive quality health care. Thank you, Dr. O’Conner.
