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.
