Dr. Kelly Powers, a well-known Fox News medical contributor and accomplished surgeon, has passed away at the age of 45 after a brave battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. She died on Sunday in New Jersey, as noted in an obituary from Holmdel Funeral Home. Born on May 13, 1979, in Yonkers, Powers had a distinguished career in both medicine and media. She earned degrees from Baruch College, the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, and the University of San Francisco, and completed residencies at Georgetown and Boston University. Her medical insight and compassionate approach made her a regular and trusted voice on networks like Fox News, Fox Business, CNN, and CBS.

Powers was first diagnosed in 2020 after collapsing on live television during a segment about heart health. She later underwent three brain surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. During her recovery, she gave birth to her son, Bennett, often referring to herself with humor as “the luckiest unlucky girl.” When the cancer returned in 2024, friends raised nearly $100,000 for experimental treatment. She is survived by her husband, Steven Doll, and their son. Her obituary describes her as “a brave and beautiful soul.” Visitation will be held on Thursday, followed by a funeral service on Friday at Tower Hill Church in Red Bank, NJ. Dr. Powers is remembered for her resilience, warmth, and the profound impact she made in both healthcare and media.
