We are heartbroken to share the following statement on the passing of Dr. Judy FitzGerald by Dr. Kathleen Katt, Chief Medical Officer and longtime Emergency Department colleague, and our CEO Dan Brinkman:

"It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Dr. Judy Fitzgerald, who was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident last night that was not survivable. She is an Emergency physician colleague of mine and most importantly a dear, irreplaceable friend," says Dr. Kathleen Katt, Chief Medical Officer and long-time Emergency Department colleague.

"Dr. Fitzgerald was a long-time emergency physician and physician leader whose impact on our organization and our region cannot be overstated. From Keaʻau to Hilo Benioff Medical Center, this loss is deeply felt. She was an integral part of our Emergency Department and Urgent Care teams and played a vital role in ACLS training throughout the region.

Throughout her career, Dr. Fitzgerald generously volunteered for numerous leadership roles and was a steadfast advocate for the remarkable progress and growth our healthcare community has achieved. Her commitment to excellence, education, and patient care left a lasting legacy that will continue to influence our work and our mission.

Our hearts are with Dr. Fitzgerald’s family, friends, colleagues, and all those who had the privilege of working alongside her. We extend our deepest sympathies and ask that our community keep her loved ones—and one another—in their thoughts and prayers as we grieve this tremendous loss."

HBMC CEO Dan Brinkman says: “One of our HBMC family has passed. We are all sad. Our sincere condolences to her family and friends. She will be missed.”
