Jeannine Connolly, MD
Co-Founder and President


Jeannine came to Rhode Island for her OB-GYN residency training, where she met Kyle and Tina. She later had the great honor and privilege of delivering Izzy; welcoming their amazing little girl into the world!

Jeannine initially helped form The Izzy Foundation in an effort to defray medical costs for Izzy’s treatment. After Izzy earned her angel wings, Kyle and Tina immediately IZspired us to help other families with children fighting cancer. Jeannine works as an OB-GYN in Massachusetts, but her most important job is being the Mom to her three boys – Jacob, Andrew and Quinn, as well as being a wife to her husband Mike.
