Dr. Thomas S. Monahan III, an academic vascular surgeon at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and a vascular surgeon at the University of Maryland Medical Center who worked tirelessly to bring surgical care to the poor, incarcerated, veterans, uninsured and the mostly forgotten, died Sept. 12 from heart failure at his Baltimore home. He was 44.

“Tom came to Baltimore and really carved out a mission to help the underprivileged, of which there is no shortage of in this city,” said Dr. Rajabrata Sarkar, chief of vascular surgery at the University of Maryland Medical Center and professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School Medicine, where he is head of its Division of Vascular Surgery.
