Ann Grimes, P.A.-C., is a physician assistant at City of Hope® Cancer Center Chicago, where she works closely with other clinical providers to offer patients compassionate care founded on excellence and empowerment for those receiving treatment at our Chicago-area hospital.
Grimes, who decided to pursue a career as a physician assistant when she was in high school, earned her undergraduate biology degree at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, where she was also a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Honor’s Society. She later earned a master’s degree in health sciences and physician assistant studies from Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.
Before joining City of Hope in 2014, Grimes worked at a large regional medical center in Maryland, serving patients and supporting physicians. She is also dedicated to educating patients about their treatment options and health so they can play an active role in their cancer care.
“Working with cancer patients is both rewarding and humbling,” she says. “We are trusted to take care of patients during a very vulnerable time.”
