Heather Derry, Ph.D.

Assistant Faculty Member, Hackensack Meridian Health

After finishing my postdoctoral fellowship in the Division of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, I have joined the faculty of Hackensack Meridian Health.   I completed my PhD in psychology at the Ohio State University, and completed a clinical health psychology internship at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA.  My research focuses on the ways in which stress impacts health and healthcare experiences among people with chronic conditions, including HIV and cancer.  The goals of my work are to address these stress-health connections in order to facilitate healthy aging and maximize quality of life.
