Mary J. Hickey Physical Therapy Scholarship

Dr. Mary J. Hickey DPT, MPH passed away in June 2021 from breast cancer. She did not want to be remembered for battling cancer; she wanted to be remembered for being Dr. Hickey, a fierce advocate and mentor. Her 25 years of teaching leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, spirit, and candid honesty. She thoroughly enjoyed helping students navigate their own paths, no matter how less traveled the path may be. “As Dr. Hickey says” or “What would Dr. Hickey do” was the favorite compliment she received time and again from her students and alumni.

Dr. Hickey was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, teacher, confidant, and mentor. She was a force of nature who knew how to command a room. Dr. Hickey made an impact on the world.

This fund, created in her memory, will provide scholarship support for Northeastern students in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences in the physical therapy program. Please consider continuing her legacy of impact by donating to a cause Dr. Hickey fiercely adored for 25 years.
