Jill S. Stoller, M.D., FAAP

Dr. Jill Stoller passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, November 29, 2020. She contracted COVID earlier this year and had suffered for months from post-viral psychological complications. Jill was 59 years old. She is survived by her mother, Jane; her brother, Richard; her husband of 37 years, Tim; her daughter Jenna and son-in-law Sean; her son, Travis; and her grandson, Bryce.

Jill was born in New York, NY to parents Paul and Jane. She graduated from John Jay High School in Cross River, NY in 1978. She attended Cornell University, where she met Tim and graduated with honors in 1982. They were married in 1983 in Brewster, NY. Jill went on to receive her MD from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, NY in 1986 and became a board-certified pediatrician in 1989. Dr. Stoller joined Chestnut Ridge Pediatrics in Woodcliff Lake, NJ in 1996 and became a partner in 2001. She was the first President and CEO of BCD Health Partners established in 2011. Dr. Stoller served as Chairperson of the Section on Administration and Practice Management for the American Academy of Pediatrics. She devoted her life to her work, her patients and her family. She was incredibly intelligent, generous, and cared deeply for those around her. Jill was a breast cancer survivor and dedicated time to those affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In recent years, she discovered a true love for dog training and spent many weekends in competition with Tia, her rescue dog.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Jill’s memory can be made to the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund (www.njprf.org) or the Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society (www.rcaps.org). A small memorial service will be held next year when safety allows.
