Dr. Harshbarger was a member of our medical staff for more than forty years until his retirement in 2021. When he started here, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word were still in very active administrative roles. He was a mainstay in our operating room and served as Chair of the Surgery Division in 1984/85 and was Chair of the Tissue Committee for twenty years.
Dr. Harshbarger’s passion for medicine and our patients came from his father, Dr. Harry Harshbarger who was a member of the heart surgery team here at St. B’s and who helped found what is now the Inland Empire Heart and Vascular Institute.
Dr. Gregory Harshbarger’s colleagues described him as an ideal surgeon, calm, meticulous, reliable and supportive to younger members and colleagues. In addition to being described as a wonderful doctor to work with, he was kind, compassionate and incredibly professional.
Thanks to donations from friends and colleagues as well as a matching gift from the Annette Williams Foundation, the Foundation has created the Dr. Gregory Harshbarger Education Fund to benefit the education needs of the OR department.
