The Indianapolis Business Journal reports that Mark Pescovitz – a surgeon at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis and the husband of Ora Hirsch Pescovitz, who leads the University of Michigan Health System – died in a car accident on Sunday outside of Ann Arbor. On her website, Ora Pescovitz posted a statement, which reads in part: “This unexpected tragedy reminds us all of the fragility of life, and I am grateful for the support and well-wishes that my family and I are receiving from the U-M and Ann Arbor communities, as well as from our wonderful friends and family in Indianapolis.” [Source]
