JEAN L. FOURCROY MD, PhD, MPH

Jean's name frequently arises in conversation about women physician leaders and trailblazers.

I am admire Dr Jean Foulcroy a UROLOGIST of her achieving success in Medicine to become the only the 5th Female Urologist in her specialty Remember sharing patients when she was on faculty at Rutgers Medical center in New Jersey

Most memorable time was attending a regional conference of Medical Women's International Organization in India

Jean was an inspiration to us all, quietly nurturing us during our early careers and facilitating networking not only informally, but through the establishment of the Society for Women in Urology which, for many of us, gave us our own special space within the greater urologic community. It would always be a source of support when we were beset by the good ol' boys club that Urology has traditionally been.
Jean was also amazing because she was a real Renaissance woman, always adopting...

Jean had a turtle she kept in the welled area outside her family room and he/she is still there with Armin caring for her. I was lucky enough to live close enough to come to Jean's home for many meetings. Jean tried her best to keep interest flowing for the DC chapter by sending out a newsletter with local tidbits. She will be missed for her persistence, creativity, scientific abilities, leadership, humor, friendship, and organization. May she rest in peace.

Our condolences to you, Armin, and to the family

Jean was a great doctor - combining curiosity, brilliance and determination. She was a great leader - opening her home up to students, mentoring so many other physicians, taking a stand for women, women physicians and women's health. And, like the icing on the cake, she was an artist, making music with a hammered dulcimer and creating lovely little watercolors. Jean was tough and said what she thought, but backed it by bringing many resources to the table. I'm glad I lived close enough to...

For me, she was the face and the voice of AMWA for as long as I can remember. She flew down to Miami during her presidency many years ago to energize our branch ( which we were starting) and she won over all the women MDs with her passion compassion and humor.
She has led many national projects in support of women's health for AMWA and made a difference among women and our organization.
She has introduced me and many AMWA members to the MWIA and I have learned from...

Dr. Fourcroy had a tremendous impact as a surgeon at Walter Reed. She was a role model for many young female physicians, and I was honored to know her through her work at AMWA, always bravely standing for what was right. We will all work hard to carry on her legacy.

Jean's indomitable spirit continues to live on in perpetuity in all of the women in medicine she inspired and empowered. Her life's work is a testament to the caliber of women physicians needed to break the glass ceiling for women. Jean is a beloved past president of the American Medical Women's Association and will always be part of the fabric of AMWA's mission and vision. Sending love and prayers to all.
