“Cancer is a difficult time physically and emotionally, and I want my patients to feel like someone is taking care of them. I want patients to be confident they are getting the best evidence-based care we can provide. ”
— Sruthi
What brought you to Fred Hutch and to patient care?
The care here is well-rounded, and patients have a whole team behind them. I wanted to be a part of that. It’s not just us making decisions and giving advice. It’s very patient-centered, and this team-based approach is something I really value.
What do you value about your work?
I value the continuity of care with patients and forming relationships over the time it takes to treat their condition. Oncology is a challenging field, but it’s also incredibly gratifying to be present for people while they are hearing news they don’t want to hear.
