Elizabeth Devita-Raeburn

Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn is a senior editor at Everyday Health, where her beats are cancer and mental health. She is the author of The Empty Room: Understanding Sibling Loss (Scribner: 2004), a book inspired by the death of her brother, Ted DeVita, who lived half his life in a sterile room at the National Institutes of Health. She is the co-author of The Death of Cancer: After Fifty Years on the Front Lines of Medicine, a Pioneering Oncologist Reveals Why the War on Cancer Is Winnable--and How We Can Get There (FSG: 2015), which she wrote with her father, Vincent T. DeVita, MD, former director of the National Cancer Institute. She lives in New York City, with her husband, the writer Paul Raeburn, and two sons. When not in NYC she’s often at her parents’ place in Connecticut, where they humor her by storing a fleet of kayaks and paddleboards.
