We are saddened to report Mitchell S. “Mitch” Rosenthal, M.D. passed away quietly in his sleep Monday night.
Dr. Rosenthal was truly the living embodiment of service, compassion, health, and commitment. As the founder and president of the Rosenthal Center for Addiction Studies, the founder of the Phoenix House drug treatment centers, the chair of the New York State Advisory Council on Substance Abuse, a psychiatrist at the U.S. Naval Hospital, and a philanthropist, Dr. Rosenthal committed his life to serving others. He always had time for people in need, whoever they were. Anyone that knew him – whether underprivileged, wealthy, suffering from drug addiction, or healthy – recognized Dr. Rosenthal for the man he was: a saint.
We at the Rosenthal Center will carry on our work for as long as it is practical. Dr. Rosenthal’s memory, values, and approach to life will inform everything we do, both individually and collectively.
Dr. Rosenthal was 87.
