Jim Pearson, president of Suros
Surgical Systems Inc., sets the
example of work hard and you will be rewarded, and make time for
family and friends so that you can
remain happy and productive at work.
He balances work
and family commitments and encourages employees to
find a healthy balance that helps the
success of the business.
He realizes that
employees who are rewarded for their
hard work at the office excel both professionally and personally, and he encourages
a family atmosphere through employee
and family events.
Pearson’s calculated risks have led
the company, which is a division of
Hologic Inc., to pioneer new paths in
breast biopsy, such as MRI-guided
breast biopsy and the development of a
new ultrasound-only biopsy tool that
gives clinicians the ability to offer
women with challenging breast lesions
a nonsurgical approach to biopsy.
Suros Surgical Systems established
MRI screening and breast biopsy as
legitimate and necessary tools for
screening high-risk women at least
three years in advance of organizations
such as the American Cancer Society.
It was only this year that the society
changed its longtime screening guidelines to include MRI for high-risk
women, helping to make this imaging
modality more mainstream and covered by insurance.
Having MRI-guided breast biopsy that
is approved by such agencies is
expected to save hundreds or thousands of lives thanks to early cancer
detection.
