“Having individuals like Lauren and Maggie at NHO will allow us to better focus on two critical areas of patient care,” stated Amy King, NHO Practice Administrator. “Lauren has advanced experience within health care systems. While working alongside our physicians in the hospital setting, she will have the ability to provide high-quality care and ensure continuity in transitioning care back to the outpatient setting. We are excited that Maggie will be able to assist patients and their families with providing supportive care and advanced care planning related to the unique challenges that come along with cancer. The addition of Maggie and Lauren to our team of clinicians in place will go a long way in helping Nebraska Hematology-Oncology support our patients through every step of their journey.”
