American Thyroid Association

McCall McPherson, a physician assistant, founded Modern Thyroid Clinic after her own misdiagnosis and severe symptoms led her to develop a new approach to thyroid treatment. The self-funded Texas-based telehealth clinic now operates in 48 states, employs nearly 40 people, and is projected to generate lower-mid eight figures in revenue.

Pam Bondi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after leaving the Department of Justice. She is undergoing treatment and recovering. Thyroid cancer prognosis is generally positive, with treatment options including surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy.
