Heidi Jess, MD, is a pathologist at Altru Health System. Outside of work, she enjoys outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, kayaking and snowboarding, arts and craft projects, including drawing, painting, sewing and refinishing furniture, and spending time with her husband, twin boys, dogs, family and friends.

I am passionate about developing an understanding for human frailty and being an advocate for patients and for those that are less fortunate than others. I enjoy playing piano, traveling, running, and spending time with friends and family.
