Dr. Stacia Micheletto passed away at St. Luke’s Hospital on November 24 from complications following surgery two days earlier. Following her graduation from TCU in 1995, Dr. Micheletto attended medical school at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston followed by residency at the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
