Kathy D. Pearson, PA

I became a physician assistant after practicing as a pharmacist for several years because I loved the field of medicine and wanted to have a closer interaction with patients and guide their medical care in a holistic manner. I feel I truly make a difference in the lives of the patients we treat in the Division of Cellular Therapy and Hematological Malignancies. I try to communicate with my patients in a sincere and candid style so they have a clear picture of their disease and transplant journey. My core clinical focus is autologous, allogeneic and cord blood hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients with blood cancers. I am also part of the autologous stem cell transplant team for patients with systemic scleroderma. In my free time, I enjoy running and participating in races of various distances. I love spending time with my husband, children, and grandchildren. I find a lot of pleasure in gardening and being outside as much as possible.
