55th Annual Montrose Fall Clinics

Casey Greene, PhD, is Professor and founding Chair of the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, where he also serves as Director of the Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine. His work focuses on using machine learning and large health datasets to make medicine more precise and discovery more efficient, with a particular interest in turning AI from promise into practical, trustworthy clinical tools. The Colorado Center for Personalized Medicine reaches patients well beyond the Anschutz campus, drawing on UCHealth's statewide footprint to bring genomic medicine and return-of-results to communities across Colorado. He is widely published in machine learning, genomics, and cancer biology, as well as a longtime advocate for open and reproducible science.

Sarah Fulghum, MD is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and teaches in the Community Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship. She lives and works in Tuscaloosa, AL where she has served our Veterans as a Palliative Care Physician at the Tuscaloosa VA since 2012. She currently provides care in the nursing home and out patient settings as well as home visits throughout rural west central Alabama.   

She attended University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham, AL followed by Tuscaloosa Family Medicine Residency and then Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship at UAB.  She maintains board certification in Family Medicine with a CAQ in Hospice and Palliative Medicine.  Her professional focuses include wound care, improving goals of care documentation and coordination of care for medical complex frail elderly.  She travels exhaustively and loves a good road trip.

As a preventive cardiologist at the Emory Heart & Vascular Center, his career is defined by a deep specialization in cardiovascular risk stratification, novel biomarkers, and global cardiovascular disease epidemiology.

A prolific scholar, Dr. Mehta has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications in premier, high-impact journals, including Circulation, Journal of American College of Cardiology, European Heart Journal, Nature Reviews Cardiology and JAMA Cardiology. His extensive body of work has garnered international recognition, with a citation count exceeding 6,500 (h-index 42), underscoring his role as a transformative voice in modern preventive cardiology.

In addition to his research, he holds several high-level leadership and editorial positions that shape national clinical practice and policy. He currently serves on the National Board of Directors for the American Society for Preventive Cardiology (ASPC). His editorial contributions include serving as an Associate Editor for the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology and as a peer reviewer for the 2026 U.S. Dyslipidemia Management Guidelines. Supported by early-career grants such as the American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship Award, his work has been honored with numerous accolades, including the AHA Lifestyle/Cardiometabolic Health Early Career Investigator Award and the ASPC Young Investigator Award. His forward-looking research agenda integrates precision medicine with clinical care, focusing on the implementation of cardiovascular disease prevention therapies. By bridging the gap between epidemiological discovery and clinical application, Dr. Mehta continues to advance the frontier of cardiovascular disease prevention.

Dr. Anthony Fredericks is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine and Palliative Medicine at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, where he serves as the Associate Program Director for the Hospice & Palliative Medicine Fellowship.
