About Catherine Geering

Catherine Geering, CNP, was a nurse practitioner, a tireless advocate for women, colleague and dear friend who passed away after her battle with leukemia in 2015. She was a passionate advocate for women’s health especially sexual health and women’s mid-life health issues. Together with Lisa Larkin, MD, Catherine launched the sexual health clinic within the UC Health Women’s Center with the goal of raising the standard of care of women in this area of unmet medical need.
