In Memoriam: Laurie Donohue, M.D.

We are so sad to announce the death of our beloved colleague, Laurie Donohue, M.D., at the end of October. Laurie was a beloved family physician, beloved by colleagues, staff, and patients. Laurie completed her medical education at Dartmouth Medical School and joined the Highland Hospital/University of Rochester Family Medicine residency as a Brown Square resident. After completing her residency in 1994, she remained in practice at Westside Health Services at both the Woodward and Brown Square sites. She became medical director of Westside in April 2005 and served in that role until Westside Health Services merged with Anthony Jordan Health Center in 2011, when she became the Chief Medical Officer of Jordan Health.
