Hornick Endowed Lecture SeriesThe 2020 Spring Hornick lecture is cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Please read the president's message here. Dr.
Newton Hornick was a private practice Pittsburgh radiologist from 1947
until his retirement in 1980. Upon his death, his two sons, Robert and
Joe, created an endowed fund in honor both of their parents, Newton and
Julia (a Pittsburgh nurse). This fund sustains an annual lectureship,
with an emphasis on governmental and socioeconomic impact on radiology
practice and has continued since its inception in 1986. Dr. Hornick was a graduate of Catawaba College and Duke University School of Medicine. For many years he served as the head of radiology at Suburban General Hospital. He was a past president of the Pittsburgh Roentgen Society and the Pennsylvania Radiological Society (PRS). He was a fellow of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and served on its Board of Chancellors. He held various administrative roles in the ACR including vice president (1978-79), secretary and treasurer. He was a leader in the radiology community who foresaw the need for radiologists to commit themselves to organized medicine and socioeconomic issues confronting radiology practice.
