Thinking of Judy

This week’s health care news offers a bit of a change in pace by featuring an array of non-coronavirus matters, including activities at local hospitals and a free dementia education opportunity. It also includes some sad news. Judy Spiegel, wife of the previous Erlanger CEO, is one of those missing after the tragic condo collapse in South Florida. Judy gave so much to Chattanooga’s health care community during her time here, and if you’re interested in reading about her work bringing art into the hospital to help people heal, check out this article from 2018. I so enjoyed meeting her, her passion for art and learning the ways that art can improve health.

Stay safe,

– Elizabeth Fite, health care reporter, efite@timesfreepress.com
