Denise Libien RN
I have been an infusion/oncology nurse for 15+ years. I am most passionate about the connection and rapport I have with patients, helping them through what can be a challenging and difficult time. I also find the treatment of cancer with its various modalities and protocols quite interesting and continually evolving. Outside work I spend much time devoted to swing dance and balboa, two related dance forms I am passionate about and find to be super fun!!
