Meet our oncology nurse navigator
Apryl Stewart, BSN, RN
Specialties: Breast, gynecologic, complex gastrointestinal and lung cancer
Apryl Stewart has been an oncology nurse navigator for one year and a registered nurse for 14 years. She is passionate about oncology nursing because it provides a combination of art and science to people in their most vulnerable time of life.
"In addition to providing education and support during their treatment plan, I lend a listening ear," Apryl says. "Sometimes patients want to discuss life outside of cancer and I ensure to give time to those stories and conversations because they are just as important."
