Coronavirus kills hospital ICU chief who 'selflessly' cared for patients during pandemic
The chief of critical care at a Baltimore hospital who helped treat the"sickest" patients, including during the pandemic, died Saturday of the coronavirus.
“He dedicated his life and career to caring for the sickest patients,” Sister Helen Amos, chair of the hospital’s board of trustees, 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.”Costa had worked for Mercy for 23 years, becoming chief of critical care in 2005.
One of Costa's medical school classmates, Dr. Amy Zimmerman, told NBC Baltimore affiliate WBAL that his tragic death should serve as a reminder of the seriousness of the pandemic.
