Penn Medicine anesthesia tech killed in hit and run

Jonathan Mack, 55, an anesthesia technician at Philadelphia-based Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, was killed in a hit-and-run, according to an April 25 report from The Philadelphia Inquirer. 

Mr. Mack was crossing the street when he was struck in a crosswalk on April 24. He was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center but pronounced dead the same day.

The driver later went to the police station to report the crash, but no arrests have been made as police continue to investigate.

"Jon was an invaluable member of our PeriOp team since 2012. Not only was he highly skilled in his role as an Anesthesia Tech, but he also brought joy and camaraderie to our workplace," John Keogh, MD, executive director of perioperative and procedural services at Penn Medicine, said in a statement to staff.
