Mark S. Erickson, DNP, ARNP, FNP-C

The main thing that brought me here is the connection I make with patients. I think it is especially important in cancer care because people are vulnerable and there is a huge paradigm shift with emotions. We can really establish unique relationships. I enjoy talking to people, and I truly believe our patients are our greatest teachers.

Of course, I want it to be a great experience for the patient, and I also want to establish a collegial environment with everyone I work with. I think patients feel that culture when they walk in, so I am motivated to cultivate a collaborative atmosphere.
