KELLOGG, ID. (THECOUNT) — Dr. Molly Hubbard, a pediatric neurosurgery at OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland, Oregon, has been identified as one of three victims killed following an avalanche at the Silver Mountain Resort near Kellogg, Idaho.
Hubbard, 33, was killed in an avalanche at the Idaho resort while on a skiing trip.
Three people reportedly died, and five others had to be been rescued after the avalanche. The resort said what appeared to be a series of three avalanches occurred about 11 a.m. Tuesday on Wardner Peak, an area of the resort where the ski runs are rated at the highest difficulty level.
OHSU’s Department of Neurosurgery Chair, Dr. Nathan Selden, released a statement on Dr. Hubbard:
“Molly Hubbard was a superlative physician and surgeon with exceptional judgment, technical skills and deep compassion for her patients and colleagues. She was also an extraordinary human being who was loved and valued by all who knew her. Molly’s loss is unfathomable to her friends, her family, our community at OHSU, and to myself as her mentor. We will do our best to honor her extraordinary character,” reports KATU.
