On the recordMay 25, 2017
It is with a heavy heart that we say good-bye to Dr. Amy Reed, a recognized physician, exemplary mother and wife, and dedicated patient advocate. Dr. Reed didn't ask for the situation she found herself in following a procedure in 2013, but it was immediately evident to anyone that met her--and her family--that she was going to be a fighter, not only for herself but for others. Through her loving husband's, Hooman's, campaign to bring awareness to the dangers of power morcellators, there is no doubt that women's lives around this country have been saved and device manufacturers and regulators have been forced to review their safety protocols and standards. This is Amy's gift, and we are eternally grateful. My thoughts and prayers are with her dedicated husband and partner, their six children, and her entire family. Let our community embrace them in their time of sorrow and vow to carry Amy's legacy and mission forward. ____________________
