NRI Dr. Joy Saini, a renowned urogynecologist and founder of the Boston Pelvic Health and Wellness Center, tragically lost her life in a plane crash in Copake, New York, on April 12, 2025. The crash claimed the lives of six individuals, including Dr. Saini's husband, Dr. Michael Groff, a Harvard Medical School professor and neurosurgeon; their children, Karenna and Jared Groff; Karenna's boyfriend, James Santoro; and Jared's partner, Alexia Couyutas Duarte. ​

The family was en route to the Catskills for a birthday and Passover celebration when their Mitsubishi MU-2B aircraft, piloted by Dr. Groff, crashed into a field shortly after requesting a revised approach to Columbia County Airport. Weather conditions and low visibility are considered as potential factors, though the exact cause remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. ​

Dr. Saini was celebrated for her contributions to women's health and her pioneering work in urogynecology. She held dual board certifications from the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology and was among the first women in the U.S. to receive fellowship training in her specialty. ​
