Former patients and co-workers have posted heartfelt tributes to Dr. Matthew Latacha by the dozen on social media in recent days. Latacha, 47, a cardiologist and electrophysiologist with Methodist Physicians Clinic, died Sunday after being struck by a motor vehicle just north of Valley. He was recruited by Heart Consultants in Omaha and had been part of the Methodist Health System medical staff since 2009. He and his team recently completed their 1,000th such procedure, according to health system officials, which was a point of pride for him. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by his parents and sister, Kathryn Latacha.
