There is a large, diverse support staff of RNs, LPNs, nurse navigators, schedulers, pre-certification, and financial team. We strive to make the patients experience seamless and support the physicians and NPs to avoid unnecessary paperwork. The Practice includes a full-service infusion center which currently has four infusion nurses and two patient care technicians. We have on-site phlebotomy so that the appropriate labs can be drawn without confusion. We have experienced a robust amount of growth since 2019 since we first opened and we are continuing to expand our services. We will discuss this thoroughly in our meeting with the ideal candidates. We are grateful for the strong community support from Primary Care Providers and the regional specialists. Our collaborative colleagues include general and specialty surgeons, Rad-Onc, IR, pathologists, and naturopathic physicians as well. This is a community in which you can make a compete difference; the patients and families are gracious for the local care.
