COLUMBUS, OH — The Columbus community is heartbroken by the sudden passing of Dr. Morgan Zuniga, a respected Internal Medicine physician at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, whose compassion and commitment to patient care touched countless lives.

Dr. Zuniga was more than a skilled physician — she was a source of comfort, empathy, and encouragement to those she served. Her colleagues describe her as deeply dedicated, always taking the time to listen, connect, and care beyond the scope of her duties. Her gentle approach and genuine concern for others earned her not only the respect of her peers but also the love and gratitude of her patients.

Outside of her professional life, Morgan was known for her optimism, warmth, and selflessness. She carried a light that brightened every room she entered, and her laughter brought joy to those around her. Friends recall her as someone who gave endlessly — of her time, her heart, and her energy — without ever seeking recognition in return.

Her passing has left a profound void in the lives of those who knew her best. To her family, she was a beloved daughter and a source of endless pride. To her friends, she was a confidante and constant source of positivity. And to her patients, she was a healer who treated every individual with dignity and compassion.

As loved ones gather to remember Morgan’s life, many are reflecting on the lasting impact she made — both within the halls of the hospital and throughout the Columbus community. Her legacy will continue to inspire those who worked alongside her and those fortunate enough to have known her gentle spirit.

A life celebration and memorial details will be shared in the coming days.

Though her time on earth was far too short, Dr. Morgan Zuniga’s legacy of kindness, care, and compassion will continue to guide and uplift others for years to come. May she rest in eternal peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all who mourn her passing.
