Kathy Kaherl is a Medical Laboratory Scientist who has always found her passion in a test tube. After spending 20 years in Transfusion Medicine in hospital settings across the country, Kathy transitioned to the American Red Cross in 2002. Today she is the Executive Director of the 45 Immunohematology Reference Laboratories at the Red Cross that help to fulfill the mission of saving lives and alleviating suffering. Her drive over the last 10 years has been to increase awareness of the need for a diverse blood supply for many chronic conditions requiring blood products, such as Sickle Cell Disease. She has chaired the Immunohematology Standards Committee of the American Association of Blood and Biotherapies for regulation of the industry.
Her passion for using her God-given career as her mission field leads her to live a ‘sent’ life. Before Jesus’ ascension to the Father, He told the disciples they were to be His witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Kathy believes that also means to her co-workers in the next office.
Kathy currently co-leads a small group at her local church with her husband of 41 years and is also active in women’s discipleship. She has 3 grown children and, at the latest count, 6 grandchildren.
