A Team Built on Stability, Collaboration, and Low Turnover
You join a cancer program known for its strong culture and long term staff retention. The medical oncology and radiation oncology teams work side by side in a shared building, allowing you to collaborate easily with colleagues who value consistency, communication, and mutual support. Staff describe the cancer center as a place where people stay because they love the work and the community, not because they must.
Your closest clinical partner is the medical oncologist, who brings six years of experience in Cody after practicing in South Bend and Washington DC. He values an open office environment where you can discuss cases, review plans, and align treatment strategies throughout the day. The medical oncology PA has more than 26 years of experience and provides continuity and patient rapport across visits.
