Hematology-Oncology
I strive to be consistent in my patient care approach which means delivering quality patient care, professionalism, being respectful and compassionate in every encounter. I know my patients are faced with challenging illnesses and I try to give them the support that they need.
This is a very healthy and supportive environment for advanced practice providers like physician assistants and nurse practitioners. I feel a strong sense of camaraderie.
I am honored to be a part of an institution where innovative research and high quality patient care come together. After 20 years of clinical practice I continue to learn through abundant data of information provided to me in addition to the expertise of my colleagues to make the most impact for each patient.

We make promising new treatments available to you through studies called clinical trials led by Fred Hutch physicians. Many of these trials at Fred Hutch have led to FDA-approved treatments and have improved standards of care globally. Together, you and your physician can decide if a study is right for you.
At Fred Hutch, you receive care from a team of providers with extensive experience in your disease. Your team includes physicians, a patient care coordinator, a registered nurse, an advanced practice provider and others, based on your needs. You also have access to experts like registered dietitians, social workers, acupuncturists, psychiatrists and more who specialize in supporting people with cancer or blood disorders.
Fred Hutch accepts most national private health insurance plans as well as Medicare. We also accept Medicaid for people from Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. We are working to ensure that everyone, no matter what their financial situation, has access to the care they need.
