More Information
Since becoming the first female vascular surgeon ever hired by UMass Memorial Health in 2013, Simons has seen a gender evolution in her field.
In eight short years, UMass Memorial’s vascular department went from having only one female surgeon to now being a female-majority department. Simons is passionate about her life-saving work and enjoys finding solutions for the unique health needs of her patients. An aging population combined with a future shortage of surgeons, is a healthcare challenge Simons anticipates will take place over the next few decades. She hopes to mitigate this future healthcare challenge through technological innovations and diversity.
