Ann O'Hare, MA, MD
Professor/Staff Physician, University of Washington/VA Puget Sound Healthcare System
This lectureship was established to honor Dr. Shaul G. Massry for his scientific achievements and his contributions to the kidney healthcare community and to the National Kidney Foundation.
Dr. O'Hare is a nephrologist at the VA Puget Sound Health Care System in Seattle and Professor of Medicine at the University of Washington where she is the inaugural holder of the Bill Peckham Endowed Fund for Person Centered care. During the more than two decades that have passed since she completed her fellowship training in Nephrology she is privileged to have been engaged in a compelling career-long process of learning how to care compassionately for people with kidney disease. This has been a path shaped by lessons learned and insights gained from patients and their family members, from colleagues within and outside nephrology, from a variety of different research projects, and from ongoing personal reflection.
