This prestigious recognition celebrates the nation’s most accomplished radiology professionals and showcases those making the greatest impact across the industry.

Dr. Reddy’s leadership and commitment to patient-centered care have positioned her as a pivotal force in shaping Wake Radiology’s vision.

Beyond operational leadership, Dr. Reddy has also contributed to advancing breast health education, particularly in underserved communities. Dr. Reddy leads Wake Radiology’s participation in the Susan G. Komen Triangle Race for the Cure, in which more than $75,000 has been raised through her leadership over the past five years.
