We are so proud to celebrate Heather Reed, NCMA, CCRC for 25 incredible years with Gastro One!
Heather began her journey with us as a medical assistant before quickly joining the research program as a coordinator — and she’s been helping advance GI care ever since. Over the past 24 years, Heather has gained experience in every aspect of clinical research, including direct patient care, eligibility review, source document creation, data entry, regulatory submissions, clinical trial management systems, and quality/auditing processes.
Her expertise and dedication led her to advance to Senior Coordinator and now Clinical Research Supervisor, where she helps train new coordinators and serves as a trusted resource for the entire research team.
Throughout her career, Heather has worked closely with Dr. Ziad Younes, contributing to studies that helped bring approved treatments for Hepatitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease, and most recently NASH (Rezdiffra) to patients. Early in her career, she was even selected to represent us at a conference in England, sharing our research successes on an international stage.
Heather, we thank you for your 25 years of leadership, expertise, and commitment to advancing patient care — we are so grateful for all you’ve done for our patients, our practice, and the field of research.
