Dr. Kevin Hogan, Co-Founder of Frederick Dermatology Associates, passed away on March 1st, 2021 after a long and difficult battle with Covid. He was an important and loved member of our team, and he will be dearly missed. The following is a small excerpt from his eulogy:

“Born January 29, 1951, in Dubuque, Iowa, Kevin was the son of the late Clement and Clarissa (Theis) Hogan.

Kevin attended Macalester College where he met his wife Lucy and many lifelong friends. Upon graduation from the College of Medicine at the University of Iowa, Kevin began his life as a physician in the Navy. It was at Bethesda Naval Hospital, where he trained in Dermatology, that he also began his love of teaching. After leaving the Navy, Kevin was a member of the Columbia Medical Plan for many years. Upon its closing he moved to Georgetown Hospital to teach and soon became the Chief of Dermatology. He wanted to teach his residents, not just about dermatology, but also how to be caring and compassionate physicians. One of those he trained recalled how he taught her to introduce herself when meeting a new patient. It was to be with a big smile and a handshake, “Hi, call me Meaghan.”

When Kevin decided that he wanted to go into private practice he knew exactly where and with whom. He recognized that he and his resident, Dr. Kathleen Moe, made a great team. And Kevin had come to love the people of Frederick when he saw patients at the Columbia Plan’s satellite office there. Together they opened Frederick Dermatology Associates and were so pleased to see how quickly they were welcomed by the Frederick community.”
