SAGINAW TOWNSHIP, MI β Growing up in Tanzania, along Africa’s eastern coast, Dr. Shiraz H. Shariff was always the kind of kid who liked to jump up and help others at school.
“It came naturally to me,” said the Saginaw interventional cardiologist, taking a quick break between his rounds and meeting with patients at the Michigan CardioVascular Institute. “But we also had a country doctor in our little town, a kind man, who would give us quinine when malaria would give us high fevers and body aches.
“He was so compassionate, and his medicine made everything better. I wanted to do that, too.”
The cardiology work Shariff has done since coming to Saginaw in 1983, showing the same kind of caring to his patients and their families, moved the St. Mary’s of Michigan Foundation to name him its Spirit of St. Vincent Award recipient for 2015, said Foundation Executive Director Karen Stiffler.
