Heros

Two sisters who both become oncology nurses and nurse navigators, each with more than 25 years of professional experience and a lifetime of experience caring for others.Growing up, home life often included hospital beds. Cancer was an integral part of their lives from an early age, so caring for people came naturally, and nursing was second nature and a legacy calling for both sisters.

Nurses are angels on earth, and sisters Regenia and Pat are real life angels and heroes that walk amongst us. Nurses are our health advocates, they educate patients and the public on risk reduction, early detection, treatment, clinical trials, survivorship and provide care throughout the continuum of care.They hold our hands when we are sick.They cheer us on and they celebrate and support us – especially through the tough times. These incredible sisters have truly created a living legacy, of compassion and love.

This is Regenia’s legacy.
This is Pat’s Legacy
