He’s been with Essentia since 2021, at their Fargo Cancer Center. He is originally from Lebanon and grew up in Canada.
Regarding working for Essentia:
“Essentia have their values on the walls and in their mission statement, and they really bring them to life. So you see a corporation that's very involved with every single physician. I mean, very often, the CEO will come down to see how things are going. When we’re marketing out the in community, he acknowledges it and is very grateful. Essentia is also very active in the community.
There's a good sense of belonging, and you get to work with great people. So working for Essentia is really great. We see a lot of collaboration, a lot of teamwork, you find a framework or a structure or foundation that's very strong, and almost runs the center by itself. The nursing staff and team take a lot of ownership and pride in their work, making sure that everybody's happy and working efficiently. So it's a close-knit, caring institution, you never feel like a cog in the machine. Patient Care is fantastic. And part of that is because of the patients. Our patients are very educated, they're intelligent. We also work a lot and share patients with the Mayo Clinic. For some surgeries that we can't do here and patients, we have the same EMR, Epic. When a patient is sent out for a transplant, I look up their notes that same day. It's like they're in the same building almost. There's a good continuity of care and communication. It also pushes us to provide patients with the latest and the greatest; really cutting-edge treatments for their cancers.”
We take a team-based approach to care and offer comprehensive cancer services including:
