"Kate has over 20 years of oncology nursing experience, both as a registered nurse and an advanced registered nurse practitioner, in a variety of clinical settings throughout the United States. Kate’s philosophy of care and her professional drive have been shaped by personal experiences. Her grandmothers, both registered nurses, were diagnosed with advanced cancer where she witnessed first-hand the power of cohesive cancer care teams. She knew at a young age that oncology nursing was her passion. Recognizing how cancer affects so many dimensions of one’s health, Kate takes a holistic approach to providing personalized evidence based care and strives to approach each individual with empathy, compassion and respect."

"Dr. Grethlein feels strongly that patients should be in the driver’s seat for their cancer journey. She has had the privilege of serving as their expert guide — sharing her knowledge of the terrain, and alerting them to the hazards ahead. But it is the patient who ultimately sets the destination and chooses the path. Dr. Grethlein walks alongside her patients and their loved ones, and it is her responsibility to bring all the needed resources — often things that the patient may not even know will be helpful. To do this well, Dr. Grethlein needs to get to know each patient as an individual — and that is where she finds a lot of the joy in her work."
