    • "I joined the Breast Care Center in March 2020.  My 38 year nursing career has been primarily in the intensive care unit and cardiac cath lab.   After 20 years at YRMC, I transferred to the role of Nurse Navigator at the Breast Care Center because I am passionate about working with patients with breast issues.  Both of my sisters were diagnosed with breast cancer at age 45, 7 years apart.   Through my own family’s experience, I understand the importance of providing emotional support, empathy and education as patients and their loved ones are navigated through their diagnosis.  I feel  extremely blessed to be a part of our community’s Breast Care Center where excellence in caring for our patients is our # 1 goal."
