Who we are

What Pillars is

Pillars is a genetics consulting company for healthcare providers. Clinicians come to genetics with different levels of training and comfort, so our support meets you where you are, whether you’re just getting started or already genetics-savvy.

Meet the founder

Meet Anna

Anna is a board-certified genetic counselor with more than a decade of clinical experience. Before founding Pillars, she held clinical, teaching, and leadership roles at a major academic medical center in New York City, where she saw firsthand how quickly genetics has reached nearly every corner of medicine. She also saw the strain: long waits for patients, an overburdened workforce, and missed chances to put genetic information to work. She started Pillars to partner directly with providers and help them support their patients.

What Pillars is, and isn’t

Pillars doesn’t provide direct patient care. All guidance goes to you, the clinician, and you keep the patient relationship and clinical responsibility. When a case needs a full genetics work-up, we’ll help identify the right specialist and give you their contact details.
