Max Gomez, an award-winning medical and science journalist who delivered informed reports for more than 40 years on TV stations in New York and Philadelphia, most recently during the Covid-19 pandemic, died on Sept. 2 at his home in Manhattan.
His partner, Amy Levin, said the cause was head and neck cancer, with which he had been diagnosed four years ago.
One of his reports on Alzheimer’s disease focused on his father, a physician, who was swindled as his memory abandoned him.
Dr. Gomez had been chief medical correspondent at WCBS, Channel 2, in New York City since 2007 and made his last appearance there in March 2022.
He also worked at WNBC, Channel 4, and WNEW, Channel 5 (now WNYW), as well as KYW, Channel 3, in Philadelphia.
