The Sidney A. Hollin, MD Memorial Lecture was established by Lila Hollin Green to foster the memory of her late husband, Dr. Sidney A. Hollin, a well-known cerebrovascular neurosurgeon at Mount Sinai. After completing a residency in Neurosurgery at Mount Sinai, Dr. Hollin continued as a traveling fellow in Neuropathology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square, London, and training in Neurology at Atkinson Morley’s Hospital in Wimbledon, England. Dr. Hollin returned to Elmhust Hospital from 1961-1979 and served as Director of the Neurosurgical Service from 1974 until 1979 and also held an appointment at Mount Sinai School of Medicine from 1966 until his retirement in 1983.
