In Memoriam, Jamie Reiss, Biodex founder and CEO - Five Minutes in Healthcare

Jamie Reiss

Five Minutes in Healthcare is where I discuss current events with some of the industry's most influential leaders and innovative thinkers.

Today, we pay tribute to a true legend of the medical imaging industry, Jamie Reiss, founder and CEO of Biodex, who passed away from complications of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma on February 13, 2021. Jamie was 74 years old.

Normally my interviews are one-on-one conversations, but today I have the good fortune of being joined by five of Jamie's friends and colleagues to share some heartfelt remembrances of a very special person, and a few laughs too.

With me for this conversation are:

For those who knew and worked with Biodex as distributors, he made us feel like family. It was evident that the unique warm and caring relationship between manufacturer and independent representatives came from the top. Jamie will be missed.
