Lee, M.D. and his wife Mary Lou The members of The Intimate Apparel Square Club remember their good friend Mathew H.M. Lee, M.D., an outstanding physician, leader, humanitarian, husband and father. Dr. Lee inspired us through the years with his generous soul, quick wit, brilliant mind and unfaltering care and love for the children of The Howard A. Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center. Our hearts and thoughts are with his family at this time. He will always be a part of us and our mission. Dr. Mathew Lee’s caring and courage enriched the Rusk Institute for 45 years. He was revered across the world for the depth of his humanism and for opening new avenues—including the management of chronic pain, acupuncture, music therapy and thermography—in restoring patients to more productive and satisfying lives. He held three professorships, in rehabilitation medicine, music and dentistry. A protégé of Dr. Howard A. Rusk himself, Dr. Lee earned a cascade of honors, including the Distinguished Clinician Award from the American Academy of PM&R and the 2006 Honor Award and Gold Key to the University of Maryland School of Medicine, bestowed since 1948 for outstanding contributions to medicine and distinguished service to mankind. Over the past 50 years, the Department has trained 23 Departmental Chairs in the United States. Dr. Lee also utilized rehabilitation medicine to further world peace, and lectured and consulted in rehabilitation medicine in over 40 countries. He authored and edited seven textbooks and 115 scientific publications.
