MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WEST

Steven Katz, MD

After more than 20 years in emergency departments, Dr. Steven Katz knows the individuals that thrive
in the pressure-packed environment are ones able to work effectively under pressure and stay calm in
critical situations. But it’s a group dynamic he credits with taking the ED team at Memorial Hospital West
to a different level. “Our teamwork is outstanding. All the doctors, nurses, and physician assistants get
along and work collaboratively,” said Dr. Katz, the hospital’s chief of emergency medicine. In addition to
his leadership role at Memorial Hospital West, Dr. Katz is also actively involved in the emergency medi-
cine residency program on its campus and serves the larger community as medical director at Pembroke
Pines Fire Rescue. He began his medical career as a paramedic at a firehouse in New York and says he
says he has always been attracted to the pace, challenges, and excitement of delivering life-saving care.
