Time magazine has named pediatrician Mona Hanna-Attisha, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.A.P., to its 100 Most Influential People list, which is included in the May 2, 2016 issue.

In 2015, the Wayne State University School of Medicine residency graduate and former faculty member discovered the elevated lead levels in the blood of children living in the city of Flint. Dr. Hanna-Attisha, is now director of the Hurley Children’s Hospital Public Health Initiative.

She is listed in the “Pioneers” category alongside Virginia Tech Professor of Civil and Environmental Professor Mark Edwards, who blew the whistle on lead in the water that year.

Dr. Hanna-Attisha completed her Wayne State University residency at the Detroit Medical Center Children’s Hospital of Michigan, serving as chief resident in 2006, and was an attending physician with the Department of Pediatrics’ Division of Ambulatory Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine before joining Flint’s Hurley Medical Center in 2011.

The Time list features a variety of people from various industries, including politics, film and television, music, science, visual art and more.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, one of the media’s most visible and outspoken critics of the government’s handling of the Flint water crisis, wrote Time’s article about the duo.

“Up against official ignorance and indifference, Edwards and Hanna-Attisha were right, they were brave, and they were insistent,” Maddow wrote. “Flint is still a crime scene, but these two caring, tough researchers are the detectives who cracked the case.”
