Family visits Manchester doctor’s legacy

Members of the Charendoff family — including Elaine Charendoff, wife of the late Dr. Leo Charendoff, her two sons and daughter, their spouses and eight grandchildren — recently received a tour of the cystoscopy suite located within the operating room area at Manchester Memorial Hospital. The cystoscopy suite was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Charendoff in September 2002. Dr. Charendoff retired in 2000 after 39 years of service at Manchester Memorial Hospital. Dr. Charendoff was the chief of urology services for many years and the president of the Manchester Memorial medical staff from 1986-1987.
