Dr. Reed was the first woman chair of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, past President of the Southern Thoracic Surgical Association, Treasurer of Women in Thoracic Surgery, and Executive Council Member and Treasurer of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. A teacher, researcher, and leader, Dr. Reed was an amazing inspiration to cardiothoracic surgeons and trainees. She will be sorely missed. Click here to view Dr. Reed’s obituary.
