Dr. Jackie Stone Death: All of us at the FLCCC are deeply devastated by the news of Dr. Jackie Stone’s passing. Her loss is felt profoundly by our organization, the medical community, and all those who were fortunate to benefit from her tireless advocacy. Dr. Stone was a fierce champion for patient autonomy, transparency in healthcare, and the restoration of medical ethics—values she held with unwavering conviction. She believed that patients deserved the right to make informed decisions about their own health, free from undue influence and without fear of retribution. Dr. Stone’s commitment to these principles often came at great personal cost.
She faced considerable opposition and challenges throughout her career but stood firm in her beliefs, always prioritizing the well-being and dignity of her patients above all else. Her fearless pursuit of truth and ethical medical practices, especially in a time of great uncertainty and division within the medical field, was nothing short of remarkable. She was a beacon of integrity, courage, and compassion. Her legacy will continue to inspire us and countless others who admired her resilience.
As we honor her memory, we are reminded of the importance of upholding the values she championed. Dr. Stone’s work was about more than just policy or advocacy; it was about the people she helped and the lives she touched. In her honor, we commit to continuing the fight for patient rights, transparent medical practices, and the restoration of ethics within the healthcare system. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all who were touched by her work—her family, her patients, and all who had the privilege of collaborating with her. Dr. Stone’s influence will endure in our efforts to create a more ethical, transparent, and patient-centered healthcare system.
