Doctors' Day Celebration

Tonight, in honor of Doctors' Day, we will be celebrating with physicians who have reached milestones in their years of service on our SJRMC Medical Staff. Thank you to all of our doctors for your time, talents and dedication.

Dr. Engel and his wife, Sondra

Dr. Howard Engel will be marking his 50th year with SJRMC. A Chicago native, Dr. Engel received his medical education at the University of Chicago School of Medicine, followed by an internship at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, a two-year research stint at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, and then his residency at Washington University in St. Louis at Barnes Hospital.

Dr. Engel married Sondra, the love of his life and his wife of 53 years, before starting his practice in South Bend in 1960. He supervised many local doctors while they were residents at what was then the Saint Joseph Hospital, a testament to his many contributions to the health and welfare of Michiana.

Throughout his 50 years of service, Dr. Engel has been driven to improve the quality of healthcare in our area and the lives of his patients. Due to his warm and caring manner and his genuine interest in the people he encounters every day, he continues to leave his mark on all of us at Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center and the entire community.
