Monique Gary, DO, MSc, FACS, is a surgeon, C-suite biotech executive, and globally recognized expert in women’s health, cancer treatment, and prevention, reshaping the future of breast cancer care with precision and purpose.
At the core of her work is a commitment to ensuring every patient, especially those historically underserved, overlooked, or dismissed, has both access to innovation and a voice in their care.
Known to patients as “Dr. Mo,” she brings clinical excellence, clarity, and compassion to life-altering moments. As one patient shared, “She explained everything, made sure I understood, and never let me leave unsure.” That steady calm, grounded in both mastery and empathy, has become her signature.
As Chief Medical Officer of Bexa, Dr. Gary leads medical strategy for an innovative, radiation-free early detection platform designed to close screening gaps and expand equitable access to lifesaving care. Her leadership sits at the intersection of innovation and equity, ensuring emerging technologies reduce disparities rather than widen them.
Her clinical work in breast surgical oncology within the St. Luke’s University Health Network reflects a broader, systems-level approach to care, spanning early detection through survivorship. Beyond the hospital, she is the Founder and CEO of Still Rise Farms, a 40-acre wellness and research incubator in Pennsylvania bridging evidence-based medicine with integrative health. Created to address gaps she repeatedly witnessed in care, Still Rise centers community voice and delivers science-backed, culturally competent programming that supports whole-person healing.
Deeply connected to her hometown of Philadelphia, Dr. Gary reinvests in the community through youth programs, health education, mentoring, and cross-sector partnerships that integrate wellness, research, and economic empowerment.
A respected voice at the intersection of health innovation, equity, and women’s leadership, she mentors leaders across corporate, nonprofit, and medical sectors, reframing wellness as essential infrastructure for long-term impact.
Her greatest impact is measured in the lives she touches, the systems she helps redesign, and the communities she continues to serve.
