Dr James A. “Charlie” Mahoney \u2011 an American pulmonologist and internist \u2013 succumbed to Covid-19 on April 27, 2020.<\/p>\n

He was head of the intensive care unit and a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center.<\/p>\n

James A. Mahoney was born in either 1957 or 1958 to Leila and Oscar Mahoney. His father was a member of the United States Air Force. Mahoney was raised in military housing in Bermuda and the South Shore in Nassau County, New York. He had 4 siblings. As a child, a family friend nicknamed him Charlie. He began working with his older brother at the age of 8. They worked at a laundromat, German delicatessen, and a lunch counter. Mahoney was the captain of the football team at Roosevelt High School.<\/p>\n

Mahoney completed a B.S. at C.W. Post in 1981 while working in patient transport at the Long Beach Medical Center. In 1986, he earned an M.D. at SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. He completed a residency in internal medicine at his alma mater and served as chief resident from 1989 to 1990. He completed a pulmonary and critical care fellowship in 1993.<\/p>\n

Mahoney began working at the University Hospital of Brooklyn and Kings County Hospital Center in 1982. In 1993, Mahoney became a clinical assistant professor of medicine and head of the intensive care unit at the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine.<\/p>\n

His clinical interests included pulmonary diseases including sarcoidosis, pulmonary hypertension, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchoscopy.<\/p>\n

The Covid-19 pandemic in New York changed Mahoney’s plan to retire in January 2020. He treated Covid-19 patients at Downstate and the Kings County Hospital Center. His workplace did not provide sufficient personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n

During his graduate studies, Mahoney met Lisa Johnson, a graphic designer, while he was traveling through California. They married in 1987 and had three children. The family resided in Baldwin where Mahoney served as a football and baseball coach. The Mahoneys divorced in 2004.<\/p>\n

Mahoney resided in Freeport, New York. He was in a long-term relationship with Dawn Havens at the time of his death. Mahoney died from Covid-19 on April 27, 2020 at the NYU Langone Medical Center.<\/p>\n
