Versiti joins colleagues across the medical and research community in mourning the loss of Dr. Lynn Malec, a physician-scientist whose work advanced care and hope for people living with bleeding disorders. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her loved ones and to the many patients, trainees, and colleagues whose lives she touched. 

Dr. Malec served as senior medical director of the Versiti Medical Sciences Institute and as the program director for the Comprehensive Center for Bleeding Disorders. A nationally recognized expert in hemophilia and rare bleeding disorders, she brought together clinical care, research, and education to improve patient outcomes across our region and beyond. Her work helped expand access to innovative therapies, including gene therapy, and strengthened the care model for individuals and families living with complex bleeding conditions.
