Erin joined SequenceMD as our Clinic and Patient Coordinator in January of 2023 and strives to provide patients with an above and beyond experience as they navigate their diagnostic journey.

Erin Jahahn

Erin grew up in Colorado and received her Master’s in human genetics and genetic counseling at Keck Graduate Institute in Claremont, California. She attended the University of Oregon and graduated with undergraduate degrees in psychology and biology. She has a research background encompassing neuroscience and genetic engineering, and was a clinical research coordinator in neuroimmunology. As a genetic counselor, Erin specializes in cancer genetics, integrating her research experience with a patient-centered approach. She’s dedicated to providing her patients with personalized genetic insights and support, helping them navigate complex medical information and make informed decisions about their health and treatment options.

Hilary Weingarth, PA-C

Hilary is a certified physician assistant with a strong foundation in primary care and a growing passion for medical genetics. Originally from Wisconsin, she earned her undergraduate degree in biomedical sciences and a Master’s of physician assistant studies from Marquette University in Milwaukee. Hilary started her career in a psychiatric hospital, providing internal medicine and primary care services in a specialized healthcare setting. In 2019, she relocated to Colorado, where she spent five years working at a family medicine clinic, building strong patient relationships and expanding her expertise in comprehensive care. Hilary is strongly interested in medical genetics, and is dedicated to helping patients understand and manage complex genetic conditions through personalized, patient-centered care. Outside of the clinic, Hilary enjoys hiking, camping, snowboarding and exploring the beautiful Rocky Mountains with her dog, Roscoe.

2020

During Dr. Long’s Medical Genetics residency at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, he connected with a group of individuals focused on helping non-genetic clinicians identify genetic patients by using online diagnostic assessments. In collaboration with geneticists from University of British Columbia and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Dr. Long started to conceptualize how tools can be built, utilized, and integrated into a physicians’ practice workflow for the benefit of hastening the diagnostic journey for complex patients.

2021

While Dr. Long completed his fellowship in Medical Biochemical Genetics at the Children’s Hospital of Colorado, he partnered with UnX, a management services organization focused on identifying rare disease patients while capturing the objective and subjective value of whole genome sequencing in adult patient populations. Together, they began developing clinical and non-clinical assessments, as part of a suite of decision support tools, to identify those patients who could benefit from genetic testing and to capture the value of genetic testing for these patients.

2022

Utilizing the decision support tools developed with UnX, SequenceMD opened its doors in Denver, Colorado to patients with remarkable clinical presentations and their providers seeking diagnostic clarity.
