3/9/2021 Dr. Marsocci retires from general surgery after 45 years Dr. Gerald Marsocci, 79, of Lincoln, has retired after 45 years at his general surgery practice but continues to work two days a week at the Comprehensive Wound Care Center at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence. But he hasn’t fully quit the medical field just yet NORTH PROVIDENCE – Dr. Gerald Marsocci has his own idea of what it means to retire. Though the 79-year-old retired from his general surgery practice in January after 45 years, he couldn’t give up practicing medicine 100 percent. He continues to serve as the chief of the Division of General Surgery at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence, a role he’s held since 2007. He also works at the hospital’s Comprehensive Wound Care Center two days a week.“I just wanted to keep active in some degree in medicine,” Marsocci told The Breeze last week. “Not doing surgery was the best choice for me.”
