Dr. Heather Parsons to Lead Fred Hutch's Breast Cancer Initiatives
Medical oncologist Dr. Heather Parsons, MD, MPH, has joined Fred Hutch Cancer Center as program head of the Breast Oncology Program.
Dr. Parsons' motivation to specialize in oncology, particularly breast cancer treatment and research, stems from her personal experience. Her younger sister was diagnosed with lymphoma as a young adult, and later with melanoma in childhood, which showed her the impact of cancer on entire families.
Her sister's diagnosis and treatment were a challenging time for her family, but now her sister is thriving.
Dr. Parsons aims to improve the experience for patients and their families during cancer treatment, which often involves working with the same oncology team for months or years.
