It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Ludlow B. Creary, MD, MPH, FAAFP. He was the rock and patriarch of our family. Throughout his esteemed career, he remained deeply committed to providing quality healthcare and medical education. He trained thousands of medical students and residents in Family Medicine. His dedication, leadership, and contributions have left a lasting impact on our family and the minority communities he served.
Ludlow Barry’s childhood dream, nurtured in Jamaica, became a reality when he graduated from Howard University College of Medicine and became a licensed physician in California. His passion for medicine never wavered … he proudly took his boards into his early eighties, and his medical license remained active until his passing.
We are finalizing the details of his celebration of life and the ways in which we will continue to honor his remarkable legacy. We will share updates soon.
Please keep our family in your prayers and positive thoughts during this difficult time. Our beloved Dr. Creary will be deeply missed.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Drs. Ruth and Ludlow Creary
More than 100 years of service to the Greater Los Angeles Communities!
“The Crearys really epitomize what it means to be a power couple. They have been a bedrock of support for the African American community, not only for the Special Needs Network, but for minority doctors, mental health professionals, educators and elected officials. I can’t think of another couple who have been as tireless and dedicated to as many nonprofit agencies and has accomplished as much as they have.”
“Their effective advocacy has caused millions of dollars in funding to be directed to our most under-served children and young adults on the autism spectrum. Their work and efforts have had a profound impact on the residents of the second supervisoral district.”
