Sherri Loeb has been a health care professional for over 40 years. After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Medical Technology, she continued her studies and received a BSN in 1983. Sherri has extensive nursing experience in a wide range of disciplines and is currently serving as a regional clinical research associate for CareDx, Inc. based in California. In 2011, her husband, a Joint Commission Officer, was diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer. As his condition worsened, she became his caregiver, personal navigator and ombudsman.
