You.
You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as an Oncology Chemotherapy Infusion
Registered Nurse.
Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers.
Colleagues feel it in your support.
You know how to stay organized and move fast. You thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy
putting patients at ease while developing trusting relationships with them throughout their
treatment plan.
Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you
believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.
Us.
Our Oncology Chemotherapy Infusion unit compassionately cares for cancer patients who are
receiving chemotherapy through infusion (IV) therapy, where therapies and medications are
administered directly into our patientsâ™ bloodstreams. We are proud to be a Heart and
Neurovascular Center, an accredited Chest Pain Center, a Comprehensive Stroke Center, and a
Level II Trauma Center.

care to the poor, the vulnerable, our communities and each other. Dating back to 1905, we are
proud of the rich history and inspiring mission our hospital has embodied for over 110 years.
Benefits are one of the ways we encourage health for you and your family. Our generous package

encompasses body, mind and social well-being. To that end, weâ™ve launched a Healthy Living
program to address your holistic health. Healthy Living includes financial incentives, digital tools,
tobacco cessation, classes, counseling and paid time off. We also offer financial wellness tools
and retirement planning.
We.
Together weâ™ll align mission and careers, values and workplace. Weâ™ll honor each otherâ™s dignity
and surpass the standards we set. Weâ™ll encourage joy, demand safety and take pride in our
integrity.
Weâ™ll laugh at each otherâ™s jokes (even the bad ones). Weâ™ll hello and high five. Weâ™ll celebrate
milestones and acknowledge the value of spirituality in healing.
