“Her co-workers and I are all shocked and grieving at this great loss,” said David Ginsburg, M.D., head of the Medical Genetics Division. “We feel for her family, especially her three children, at this terrible time. We know that Jan will also be missed by the many patients she helped at our outpatient genetics clinic, who often commented on her special warmth and friendliness.”
