Ref.: (LML) CAPT. Judith A. Bell Krotoski, OTR, CHT, FAOTA
From: Linda Lehman, Belo Horizonte, Brazil
Dear Pieter,
Just heard that Judy Bell-Krotoski died after a recent diagnosis with a very aggressive cancer. Judy had worked with me, and ALM, many years ago in training people at GWLHDC and with us in Brazil and research. She was the one who motivated us to create the SORRI Bauru Sensory testing kits and also was the one who encouraged and started people using monofilaments for earlier diagnosis of nerve function problems.
She was an original pioneer of hand therapy, amazingly creative not known by many, a visionary, a champion of causes especially in her capacity as officer in the United States Public Health Service and her work with sensibility testing of hands and upper extremity of patients with Hansen's disease (Leprosy).
May she rest in peace and be remembered for the good mentoring and education she provided to many of us! Please keep Al, her husband and Judy's son in your prayers.
Thank you,
Linda
