Paul S. Goldstein ’46, of Hamden, Conn.; Aug. 24. He was a longtime practicing pediatrician in New Haven, Conn. He earned his medical degree and did his residency at Yale, then served in the Armed Forces Medical Corps in Japan during the Korean War. In 1952, he joined with Dr. Morris Krosnick in private practice while operating the Yale Pediatric Allergy Clinic. There, he initiated the Pediatric Endocrine Clinic and together they launched Pediatrics Associates of New Haven in 1962. In addition to being generalists, they would each cover more special interest areas covering all pediatric fields and became role models for other practitioners.

In 1976, he was appointed chair of the department of ambulatory services and community medicine at St. Raphael’s Hospital and was instrumental in helping to establish the emergency medical services system in New Haven.
