Welcome Katherine Geiersbach

We are excited to introduce a new member of our pathology department. Dr. Katherine Geiersbach is a Rhode Island native who received her undergraduate degree in architecture from Princeton University. After considering a career in architecture, she decided to pursue a career in medicine instead, and moved to Colorado Springs in 1994 to complete prerequisite training while living with her family there. A brief research experience in the Cytogenetics Laboratory in the Department of Pathology at Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs sparked her interest in laboratory medicine.
