Kristy Hammam, WebMD’s former editor-in-chief and senior vice president, has died of breast cancer. She was 50 years old.
Dec. 24, 2021 --
Kristy began her career as a writer and copy editor at CNN before joining the medical news service Greenberg News Networks, where she produced a daily broadcast for Medcast. She was eventually promoted to head of programming. Greenberg was acquired by Healtheon and WebMD, and she continued to grow with the company to become its editorial director, in charge of most of the operations of WebMD’s Atlanta office.
Mary remembers that Kristy asked her to speak in a company meeting, and she demurred, telling her boss she was shy. “No one had a bigger impact on my career at WebMD than Kristy,” said Michael Smith, MD, a former chief medical editor at WebMD. “She helped shape who I am today both personally and professionally. Her impact will always be felt."
“Right from the start, Kristy did an amazing job,” said Steve Zatz, MD, former chief executive officer at WebMD. “She was able to juggle all these disparate responsibilities that she had and do them superbly. She could wrangle celebrities and spreadsheets with equal skill.”
