Suzanne O'Rourke, NP - Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center at Banner Gateway Medical Center

As an oncology nurse practitioner, my care philosophy is to provide evidence-based care to my patients by acknowledging their unique situations and focusing on their quality of life, educating patients and their families, managing their side effects and symptoms, and providing unconditionally compassionate, high-quality care.

I believe in looking at each patient as a whole. No individual is simply one symptom or disease process. There are no two patients that are the same, therefore, my approach is unique to each individual. My dedication is to understand my patients' concerns and addressing them with empathy and respect. Prioritizing family involvement and communication to best support our patient's journey is integral. I continually strive to provide the best care possible, as I see each patient as a member of our family.
