The Oncology team plays a pivotal role in the holistic care of cancer patients. Their work is of utmost importance as they are responsible for administering chemotherapy treatments and closely monitoring patients throughout their cancer journey. Their responsibilities extend beyond just medication administration; they provide emotional support, education, and ensure patients and families understand their treatment plans. In the interdisciplinary healthcare setting, they work with many other health professionals to provide excellent care. Working with oncologists to implement treatment protocols, pharmacists to ensure accurate drug preparation, and many more. Their communication and coordination are vital to optimizing patient outcomes. Moreover, the Chemotherapy team at MMH bridges the gap between patients and their families, explaining treatment options and side effects. They serve as advocates, offering a compassionate touch during a challenging time. In essence, their dedication showcases teamwork in providing comprehensive cancer care.

It is an honor to recognize these nurses and pharmacists for their hard work and dedication to providing compassionate care. Healthcare is one of the most demanding jobs. It requires long hours, high emotional stress, and complex patient care. Meaningful recognition acknowledges and validates the hard work, dedication, and expertise that nurses bring to their roles every day. Nurses, and all healthcare workers, deserve to feel appreciated and valued. This motivates us to continue delivering high-quality care in the face of adversity. Organizations that prioritize meaningful recognition tend to have more satisfied staff, better patient outcomes, and a positive culture that fosters innovation to recruit and retain high-caliber nurses, ultimately contributing to their long-term success. At MMH, we recognize that celebrating nurses for their contributions is a simple yet impactful way to support and uplift the nursing profession. Honestly, we can’t thank them enough for all they do, so we will continue to find new ways to highlight all the amazing work that goes on here at MMH. 

Congratulations, Juanita Allcorn, Michaela Daggett, Nicole Arizpe, Holly Tarango, and Titilayo Olabinjo, the OTC, oncology nurses, and pharmacists!
