Sinnadurai Earampa Moorthy (Dr. Moorthy) peacefully passed away on November 12, 2020. Moorthy was born in Jaffna, Sri Lanka on February 5, 1941 to the late Mr. Arumugam Sinnadurai and the late Mrs. Annamma Sinnadurai. He was married to Claudia Shanthi for over 50 years and had two children, Asha Kalyani and Geetha Vanaja.
Moorthy excelled in his academic endeavors and obtained his medical degree in Sri Lanka in 1967. He completed postgraduate training at Bronx-Lebanon and Coney Island Hospitals in New York and a fellowship in gastroenterology at Boston University in Massachusetts. Upon finishing his training, he moved to the Antelope Valley as its first gastroenterologist in 1976.
He was a dedicated and caring physician who was loved and respected by his patients and colleagues. He served the people of the Antelope Valley for over 40 years and was on the staff of Lancaster Community Hospital, Antelope Valley Hospital, and the Palmdale Regional Health Center.
