Treatment Philosophy
My background is critical care, then case management. I made the change to Navigation at Fox Chase to assist with coordination of cancer care for my patients, primarily, preparation for the first appointment. I am the first point of contact prior to their oncology consultation. I provide support and connect our patients with available resources. These first steps are the most important steps in the journey our patients will face, and I hope I make a difference to them.
