Passing of Dr Fiona Key
Dear colleagues, It is with great sadness that I am writing to inform you that our colleague and friend Fiona Key left us on Sunday morning, March 4th.
Fiona was born in Glasgow, Scotland and came to the Children's in 1976 as a trained pediatrician for her fellowship in Pediatrics. It is here that she came in contact with Child Psychiatry and she decided to change career plans.
