At a time when Joanne Conroy, MD is under immense stress as the President and CEO of Dartmouth-Hitchcock and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health, and when communal grieving is made almost impossible due to social distancing, JHF extends its deepest sympathy to Joanne on the loss of her husband Douglas, who passed away on April 26 after a brief but fierce battle with bile duct cancer. Joanne has played a large role in advancing JHF's mission of working toward reducing medical error, reforming medical education, and improving maternity care. As founder of Women of Impact, Joanne has been a champion for gender equity and women leadership in all sectors of the health care industry.
