Not only is Robin an expert oncology nurse, but she is a true patient advocate who applies the Golden Rule in every aspect of her role as Cancer Navigator.
Robin exemplifies the true meaning of empathy and compassion when it comes to caring for our cancer patients. Not only is she an expert oncology nurse, but she is a true patient advocate who applies the Golden Rule in every aspect of her role as Cancer Navigator. She goes above and beyond setting up transportation/lodging, providing education, coordinating care across the healthcare system, and assisting with financial barriers and access to care. She builds relationships with patients/families and is an integral part of their cancer journey - even "babysits" patients' young children during radiation treatments.

Robin gives 110% every day and is dependable and trustworthy - she doesn't hesitate to jump in and help even if "it's not her job" and will get the job done quickly and accurately. She goes the extra mile to make sure patients have the best experience possible.
