Susan Hadley

Dr. Susan Hadley, age 65, at home in the North End, after a long illness. She was Professor of Medicine in the Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases at Tufts University School of Medicine. A physician of exceptional skill, heart and commitment, she was devoted to patients and their families and to training young physicians in both the technical aspects of medicine as well as the deeper, sacred obligations of treating human disease. She began her career during the early days of the AIDS crisis and ended it inspiring young physicians to work in global health. She was cherished by her many friends who were fortunate to know and love this amazing woman. She is survived by her husband, Dr. Martin Obin, by her brothers, Dr. James Hadley of Bonita Springs, Florida and Rick Hadley of Park City Utah, their children's families, and by her beloved lab, Sammi. Gifts in Dr. Hadley's memory will support the Nicaragua Global Health Program at Tufts University School of Medicine and should be directed to Medical Development, TUSM, 136 Harrison Ave., Boston MA 02111.
