Hematology-Oncology

“A cancer diagnosis can be frightening, and it’s my job to help you feel comfortable and safe.”

— Adrianne


What is your approach to care and treatment?

I believe in a team-oriented, patient-centered approach to care. My priority is helping patients achieve and maintain the quality of life they desire and deserve. I work with professionals with different backgrounds and areas of expertise. We pool our knowledge to serve as guides, so patients can make choices that are based on the most up-to-date evidence and that align with the goals they have for their care.

Why should a patient trust Fred Hutch for care?

Here, patients have immediate access to the providers, treatments and resources they need to fight cancer head-on. More importantly, we treat you like our own family members. When you win, we win. When you suffer, we suffer. That kind of compassionate care is hard to come by, and it forges a powerful relationship among patients, families and medical teams.

Provider Background

Area of Clinical Practie
Myeloid malignancies, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

I am an advanced registered nurse practitioner who sees patients at the South Lake Union Clinic. I find treating graft-versus-host disease extremely challenging but invigorating. There are so many nuances to diagnosing and managing GVHD, and I am constantly learning and growing as a provider.

I am an active member of a national consortium for the management of chronic GVHD and have authored several educational series on the diagnosis and treatment of MDS, myelofibrosis and GVHD. In the future, I hope to continue working with these diseases and investigating new therapies for their treatment. In addition, I’ve always been fascinated by cancers of the blood. Their enigmatic nature often presents challenges in diagnosis and management. Because of this unpredictability, working closely with patients is crucial to achieving a successful outcome, and that’s my favorite part of this job: the relationships I’ve formed with patients throughout the years. I have celebrated countless birthdays and milestones with patients and families, and they have graciously welcomed me into their lives.

Clinical Trials

We make promising new treatments available to you through studies called clinical trials led by Fred Hutch physicians. Many of these trials at Fred Hutch have led to FDA-approved treatments and have improved standards of care globally. Together, you and your physician can decide if a study is right for you. 

Your Care Team

At Fred Hutch, you receive care from a team of providers with extensive experience in your disease. Your team includes physicians, a patient care coordinator, a registered nurse, an advanced practice provider and others, based on your needs. You also have access to experts like registered dietitians, social workers, acupuncturists, psychiatrists and more who specialize in supporting people with cancer or blood disorders. 

Insurance

Fred Hutch accepts most national private health insurance plans as well as Medicare. We also accept Medicaid for people from Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. We are working to ensure that everyone, no matter what their financial situation, has access to the care they need.
