John F. Potter, first director of Georgetown’s Lombardi Cancer Center, dies at 95 Matt Schudel © Georgetown University Medical Center Dr. John F. Potter. John F. Potter, a surgical oncologist and longtime medical school professor who was the founding director of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, died June 29 at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, where he worked and taught for decades. He was 95. The cause was pneumonitis, said his daughter Tanya Potter Adler. Dr. Potter began his medical studies at Georgetown shortly after World War II and, except for brief periods, was associated with the university for more than 60 years. In 1970, he became the first director of Georgetown’s cancer center, which was later named for football coach Vince Lombardi, who died that year of colorectal cancer. Dr. Potter was among the physicians treating Lombardi at Georgetown University Hospital.

What Dr. Michael Lindberg will miss the most about his role as chief medical officer at Monadnock Community Hospital is the daily interactions with the staff and making a difference in the lives of patients.
Lindberg, who has filled the position for the last five-plus years, is set to officially retire once a replacement is identified.
Lindberg was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease two years ago and it has taken a toll physically and was one of the main reasons he decided it was time to put his medical career behind him.
“It catches up with you after a while,” Lindberg said. Cognitively, Lindberg said, there are no issues. But his endurance isn’t what it used to be, his voice is a bit more husky and there are some bouts with shaking and tremors. He also deals with a loss of smell.
