Meet Meg,

your Carpenters Nurse Navigator.

Meg is an Oncology Certified Nurse with over 10 years of experience in oncology. For the past several years, Meg has worked as a nurse navigator, helping patients and their families navigate the complexities of a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

 “I have a passion for helping patients and family members navigate anything and everything surrounding a cancer diagnosis, not only here in the US, but also in Kenya, where I have a non-profit dedicated to empowering village doctors and nurses with the tools and knowledge to screen for cancer, and providing health insurance when cancer treatment is needed.”
