About Cathie June Hren

About The Provider

Cathie is a highly experienced Physician Assistant and Certified Diabetes Care Educator practicing in the Grand Junction area, with over 27 years of clinical experience and more than 24 years dedicated to managing patients with diabetes. Her career in endocrinology has been driven by a deep personal connection—during her nursing education at New Mexico Junior College, two of her nieces were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This life-changing moment inspired her to take an endocrinology elective, where she discovered a lasting passion for caring for individuals with diabetes.

After earning her Physician Assistant degree from the Medical College of Georgia, Cathie committed her professional life to helping patients manage and prevent diabetes. She specializes in comprehensive health management for those with prediabetes and diabetes, offering compassionate, judgment-free care that meets patients where they are in their health journey.

"I meet patients where they are and do not judge them in any way."

Cathie is a dedicated educator who advocates for preventive measures and empowers patients with knowledge to better manage their health. She is known for her empathetic approach, clinical expertise, and dedication to improving lives through personalized care and education.

Outside the clinic, Cathie enjoys spending quality time with her three grandsons, going on family camping trips, and cruising with her husband.

    I feel fortunate to have her help with managing my longtime battle with diabetes and insulin pump issues, nearly eliminating the lows I'd been having for quite some time, as well as helping me with gaining back some of the weight I have lost. She's GREAT.

    Cathie is delightful and very knowledgeable about diabetes and insulin pumps. She is helping me learn how to use my new CGM sensor, understand the reports it generates, and has made suggestions for pump setting changes that are helping me gain better control of my diabetes.

    Cathie Hren is a fantastic, knowledgeable diabetes educator whom I would highly recommend to anyone dealing with diabetes, especially type 1. I was unsure of how aa telehealth visit would go, but I'm looking forward to talking with her again at my follow-up appointment.

    Cathie is the first provider I have found in the 43 years I've had T1 diabetes who actually understands the disease and how it affects a person. She is so smart and continues to learn more and more about the disease and the new technology and treatments that are available to people like me. She is wonderful.
