->AUGUSTA -- Dr. Hsueh Ching Cheng, 79 (known as Gene to his patients and colleagues), a retired physician from Augusta, passed away on March 1, 2006, in Shanghai, China. A funeral service was held in Shanghai on March 3. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 1, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church on Summer Street in Augusta. All are welcome. A reception will be held afterward.Dr. Cheng died of a head injury after being struck by a passing motorcyclist on Feb. 18 while walking to the post office in Shanghai. After his retirement less than two years ago, Dr. Cheng had been spending his winters with his wife, Meio, in Shanghai, and traveling to many of China's tourist sites.Dr. Cheng came to Augusta in 1971 from Ste. Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec. After a year as chief of the division of medicine at Augusta General Hospital (now MaineGeneral Medical Center), he spent the next 32 years in private practice, where he was a board-certified internist and cardiologist, until his retirement.This was not Dr. Cheng's first experience in the United States. He had previously been an intern at Buffalo General Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y., from 1961 to 1962, and a medical resident at Northwestern University's Passavant Memorial Hospital in Chicago from 1963 to 1965. Dr. Cheng's first exposure to the state of Maine was as a fellow in cardiology at Maine Medical Center in Portland, from 1965 to 1966.And, well before that, Dr. Cheng had taken a company officer course at the Medical Field Service School at Fort Sam Houston in Texas from 1952 to 1953.This was during Dr. Cheng's obligatory military medical service after graduating at the top of his class magna cum laude from medical school, Taiwan's National Defense Medical Center, in 1952.Following medical school, he stayed on as an attending physician in cardiology while teaching and conducting medical research in a cardiac catheterization lab. He retired with honors from military service with the rank of major in 1961. Shortly thereafter, he came to the United States.Dr. Cheng was a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada, a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, and a fellow of the American College of Physicians. His appointment to the fellowship in the American College of Physicians came in 2002, only shortly before his retirement, both honoring and indicative of Dr. Cheng's continual effort to improve the quality of care he provided his patients. At the age of 75, he was one of the oldest recipients to be honored.Dr. Cheng was born in Henan Province in China on Jan. 26, 1927. His father, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and a Protestant minister, sent him to attend a "traveling school" during his high-school years, a consequence of the Japanese occupation of China. This was the start of a long journey to Taiwan and eventually the United States. Due to the circumstances of the period, Dr. Cheng did not get to see his father again until almost 40 years later, after President Nixon's historic trip to China.More recently, as Dr. Cheng became reacquainted with his birth country, China, he became interested in public-health issues, writing to the Shanghai Daily newspaper, warning about infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. In addition, he had been in discussions with his former medical school classmates from the National Defense Medical Center in Taiwan about setting up a joint-venture hospital in Shanghai to not only improve relations between the two countries, but also to improve the overall quality of health-care services provided. He is survived by his wife, Meio; a daughter, Julie Cheng Deckerman, M.D., a pediatrician, of Denver; a son, Wen Cheng, M.D., a cardiothoracic surgeon, of Los Angeles; a son, Ken Cheng of Roanoke Rapids, N.C., and West Gardiner; a son, Gene Cheng, M.D., an internist, of Winthrop; and six grandchildren. This May would have been Dr. and Mrs. Cheng's 50th wedding anniversary.In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care.
