“I approach patients as people who happen to have a disease. I want to make sure they are heard and that I include everyone else in the room who is with them as support.”

What brought you to your role at Fred Hutch?
I had been working in emergency medicine and critical care for most of my career, and I was looking to stretch my brain in a different direction, where I could build more long-term relationships with patients. I like that I get to build rapport with people and their families as they go through the treatment process. We get to hear everyone’s stories, and we get to help them move through treatment and hopefully toward remission.
What do you think makes the care here unique?
It’s a holistic experience. Patients get lab tests and imaging and see their providers, and there are also community resources that help people who are coming from out of town. We work toward the common goal of serving patients. Having the entire team on board so we can quickly access additional support creates a better care experience for patients and their families.
