Robert Hogan was born in 1963, the fifth in order of birth of the eleven children of the late Richard T. “Doc” and Betty Hogan. From kindergarten to grade five, he attended St. Mary’s School in Hudson Falls and moved on to St. Mary’s Academy for Middle School. Upon graduation from Hudson Falls High School in 1982 he enrolled at ACC (now SUNY Adirondack) where he earned the RPI award for Excellence in Engineering.
After taking time off to work with a road construction crew at Kubricky Construction, he enrolled at RPI where he studied Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, graduating in 1989. Upon graduation, Dr. Hogan returned to ACC in order to complete the requirements necessary to enroll at Upstate Medical College in Syracuse. Graduating in 1994, he went on to complete his residency in Internal Medicine at the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown, New York. While in attendance, he received the Golden Stethoscope Award as Resident Teacher of the Year. He returned to Glens Falls to join Adirondack Cardiology after completing his Cardiology Fellowship and Interventional Cardiology Fellowship at the University of Massachusetts at Worcester. Dr. Hogan was instrumental in establishing the PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) program at Glens Falls Hospital in 2003 which allowed him to perform emergency angioplasties on patients experiencing heart attacks. He is presently the Medical Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab of Glens Falls Hospital. In 2005, he was the winner of the Harry M. “Mac” DePan Physician Award of Excellence from Glens Falls Hospital.
An involved parent, he has constructed soccer goals for the St. Mary’s soccer team as well as assisted the Odyssey of the Mind teams for both St. Mary’s and the Glens Falls Middle School. The displays at the Coolidge Ave. Neighborhood Art Shows and the props for the neighborhood outdoor theater are also the product of his efforts. He is always willing to volunteer his time to help family and friends with various engineering and construction projects. Dr. Hogan is a believer that we are all capable of excellence and if we find something interesting to learn, there will be a meaningful application for that knowledge. Dr. Hogan lives in Glens Falls with his wife Elizabeth and their four children, Jackie, Nolan, Neil and Josie.
