Saskatoon Loss: Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Natasha Gattey Killed in Ski Accident

 Following a terrible skiing accident last month, Dr. Natasha Gattey, a cherished assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry, has left the University of Saskatchewan and the larger medical community of Saskatoon grieving.

MD, FRCPC, Dr. Gattey was a psychiatrist specializing in children and teenagers with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Her clinical competence, sympathetic treatment of patients, and great dedication to her students and clients were well regarded.

Dr. Gattey once confessed, as she reflected on her career, she picked psychiatry because she found the chance to develop long-term connections with patients and significantly influence their life to be invaluable. Her method of treatment stressed empathy, continuity, and awareness—qualities that defined her work with kids, teenagers, and families around the province.

She decided to stay in Saskatoon, which she called as a great place to raise a family, and was very active in both the academic and local spheres. Colleagues claim she brought warmth, humility, and devotion to her teaching position, guiding students with the same attention she gave her patients.

Dr. Gattey was a loving wife and dedicated mother beyond her career successes; her family was the center of her life. Friends and coworkers recall her as kind, considerate, and utterly dedicated to enhancing the lives of others—both within and beyond the clinic.

Her death is a great loss to the University of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, and the many patients and families whose lives she influenced. She will be remembered for her compassion, integrity, and lasting effect on the neighborhood she loved as well as for her technical brilliance.
