Retired Beebe surgeon Katz to be featured on PBS Nov. 13

Beebe Healthcare, Blink Films and PBS invite the community to tune in at 8 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 13, to see retired Beebe vascular surgeon Mayer Katz, MD, on “We’ll Meet Again” with Ann Curry.

Portions of the episode were filmed at Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus, and Beebe Cardiac and Vascular Executive Director Lynn Amey is also featured in the episode.

The episode, titled “Saved in Vietnam,” features Roger, who embarks on a journey to find and thank the vascular surgeon who saved his life and his leg during the Vietnam War. This journey leads him to Lewes in his effort to locate the now-retired Katz, who was a surgeon in a MASH unit during the war.
