Dr. Kelly Powers, a respected physician, surgeon, and frequent medical contributor on Fox News and Fox Business, has died at the age of 45 after a long battle with brain cancer, according to multiple news outlets. Powers passed away on Sunday, December 1, following a courageous fight against glioblastoma<\/strong>, a particularly aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer.<\/p>\n

Born on May 13, 1979, in Yonkers, New York, Powers built a distinguished professional life in medicine and media. She earned degrees from Baruch College and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, and later received a master\u2019s degree from the University of San Francisco. Powers completed medical residencies at Georgetown University School of Medicine and Boston University School of Medicine, ultimately establishing herself as a skilled surgeon.<\/p>\n

Her expertise and engaging on\u2011air presence made her a regular health\u2011care commentator on programs such as Fox & Friends<\/em>, Red Eye<\/em>, and The Willis Report<\/em>, where she offered insights on public health issues to a wide audience.<\/p>\n

Powers was first diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2020 after collapsing during a live broadcast, an event she later described as surreal. Despite undergoing three brain surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy<\/strong>, she fought the disease with remarkable resilience. Powers experienced a period of remission and even welcomed her son, Bennett, with her husband, Steven Doll<\/strong>, in 2021 \u2014 a milestone she treasured amidst her health challenges.<\/p>\n

She often referred to herself with humor and heart as \u201cthe luckiest unlucky girl,\u201d noting how her cancer treatment and her newborn son sported matching haircuts during her recovery.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Powers\u2019 cancer returned, and conventional treatments were no longer effective. In response, her friends and supporters organized fundraisers to pursue experimental treatment options<\/strong>, including innovative therapies available abroad. Nearly $100,000 was raised to help fund these efforts, reflecting the deep community of colleagues, friends, and admirers she had built.<\/p>\n

Despite these efforts, the disease ultimately claimed her life \u2014 a loss mourned widely by those who knew her and those who were inspired by her advocacy and courage.<\/p>\n


Powers\u2019 obituary described her as \u201ca brave and beautiful soul\u201d dedicated to helping others and beloved for her warmth and empathy. She was not only a medical professional but also a devoted family member whose love for people defined her life and work.<\/p>\n

Fellow commentators and public figures, including former Fox Nation personality Britt McHenry, expressed admiration and grief, recalling Powers\u2019 strength, kindness, and shared struggles with similar health battles.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kelly Powers is survived by her husband, Steven Doll<\/strong>; her son, Bennett; her parents; and her in\u2011laws. Funeral arrangements were announced, with visitation services held and a funeral service conducted in Red Bank, New Jersey. Her life, marked by professional excellence, personal courage, and public service, leaves a lasting impact on both the medical community and the wider public she reached through her media work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
