SEGAL DEATH NOTICES
SEGAL Bernard L. Segal, MD, FACC, Cardiologist, of
Villanova PA and Palm Beach FL, passed
away peacefully on Wednesday, February 10,
2021 in Palm Beach, Florida after a brief ill-
ness, surrounded by his family, at age 91. He
is survived by his beloved spouse, Idajane
Fischman Segal, cherished daughter, Jody
Segal Reinbold (Kirk), and precious grand-
children, Darby and Pierce. Dr. Segal was
born in Montreal, Canada during the great de-
pression to Russian immigrants. He received
his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medi-
cine degrees from McGill University in
Montreal. He was elected to the Alpha Omega
Alpha Honor Society and graduated with hon-
ors in 1955. Dr. Segal completed his intern-
ship at Jewish General Hospital in Montreal
and completed his first year of residency at
Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. His second year
of residency was completed at Beth Israel
Hospital of Harvard University, under Paul
Zoll, MD, who developed the pacemaker. Dr.
Segal then completed a one-year Cardiology
fellowship at Georgetown Medical Center and
the National Institutes of Health under the tu-
telage of W. Proctor Harvey, MD and Eugene
Braunwald, MD. While in Washington, Dr.
Harvey introduced him to William Likoff, MD,
who asked Dr. Segal to join him in practice
but agreed to wait because Dr. Segal had
already accepted a position at St. George’s
Hospital in London, England as a U.S. Public
Health Fellow. At St. George’s, he furthered
his post doctoral training under two of the
leading cardiologists of his day, Aubrey
Leatham, MD and Paul Wood, MD. Dr. Segal
returned to Philadelphia where he spent 24
years with Dr. Likoff at Hahnemann Uni-
versity Hospital and was later appointed Chief
of Cardiology. He went on to develop the suc-
cessful Philadelphia Heart Institute at Presby-
terian Medical Center. After Dr. Segal spent
10 years at Presbyterian, Allegheny Uni-
versity persuaded him to move his entire fac-
ulty to develop a new cardiovascular network
and serve as their Senior Vice President. In
1998, Dr. Segal and his faculty joined
Thomas Jefferson University, where he
served for ten years as Director of the Divi-
sion of Cardiology. In 2010 through his
Foundation, he endowed the Bernard L. Segal
Chair in Clinical Cardiology at Jefferson. He
retired in 2016 after practicing medicine for
over 60 years. He helped pioneer modern
cardiology as a physician, investigator and
educator. His 12 books and 375 scientific pa-
pers established him firmly in the vanguard
of cardiology. Dr. Segal has served on the ed-
itorial boards of several medical journals. He
was a member of Philadelphia County Medic-
al Society PAMED and Fellow and Emeritus
member of the American College of Cardi-
ology, where he served on many committees
as well as their Board of Trustees. Dr. Segal
is also past Fellow of the American Heart As-
sociation; the American College of Physi-
cians; and the Laennec Society. Dr. Segal has
been recognized with many honors during his
