Karen Underwood is an RN from the Medical Oncology Clinic 8NP Smliow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven Hospital. “Karen is one of the most compassionate caregivers I have known.” Whenever Karen walks into the room her patients light up! A patient said “Karen always makes me feel like I am the only patient on the entire unit.” Her ability to develop trusting relationships with her patients and guide them through their cancer treatment is a true tribute to the extraordinary nurse she is.
