The North American Spine Society (NASS) is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Henry H. Bohlman, MD.

A Professor of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of the University Hospitals Spine Institute, Dr. Bohlman was known for his dedication to the medical field. In 2006, Dr. Bohlman received the NASS Leon Wiltse Award for contributing greatly to the art and science of spinal disorder management. He published 121 articles in peer-reviewed medical journals, 45 book chapters, and presented 445 lectures worldwide. Dr. Bohlman also directed the Spine Fellowship Program at the University Hospitals Case Medical Center where he assisted in training 81 domestic fellows and 35 foreign fellows for universities around the world.

“This is a great loss not only to Henry Bohlman’s family, but also to the spine community. He made tremendous contributions to the field of spine care and will be remembered as a great teacher, mentor and friend to many,” said Ray Baker, MD, President of the North American Spine Society.
