Powers attended the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and completed her residency at Georgetown and the Boston University School of Medicine. The physician made TV appearances on Fox News shows like Red Eye and Fox & Friends and Fox Business shows like The Willis Report.

Republican pundit Meghan McCain took to social media to send her thoughts to the Powers family following their loss. McCain’s father, the late Senator John McCain, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, which he died from in 2018.

“Sending so much love, light and prayers to Dr. Powers family and loved ones. Glioblastoma is pure, unadulterated evil that no person or family should go through. My family is here if you need anything,” McCain posted on X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform.

Dr. Powers is survived by her husband, Steven Doll, her son Bennett, her parents, and her mother and father-in-laws Daniel and Laraine Doll.
