Nadine P. SantaCruz, MD, MPH

As a pulmonary and critical care physician, I am passionate about patient care. The healthcare system can be challenging to navigate. Patients often struggle to get answers to their questions. I collaborate with and advocate for my patients, helping them find the information and care they need to meet their goals. I combine my passion for patient care with a deep commitment to improving healthcare systems. In my clinical work and research, I identify new solutions that provide the best care. I am particularly interested in how technology can reduce barriers to care so that patients can get the care they need. My primary research uses data and experiences from past patient care to make future treatments better and more efficient. I lead multiple research and evaluation efforts related to the Veterans Affairs' electronic health record modernization efforts. I am also exploring how artificial intelligence can support and improve patient care. In all my work, I am driven by the desire to provide the highest standard of care. I aim to ensure that patients receive the most informed, up-to-date treatments.

I appreciate so many aspects of cancer care and women's health. My patients consistently say they feel like they are in competent and skilled hands, and that I put them at ease. The patient's goals drive a successful outcome, within the boundaries of what we can do. If a cure is not possible, I try to help my patient identify what goals they may have and balance that with what is possible. As a gynecological oncologist, I research and apply for grants to find the best solutions for my patients. My patients and their families offer perspective to my life every day. I see families rally around their mothers and wives in a way that is touching and inspiring.
