This week is National Cancer Registrars’ Week. Please join me in acknowledging the hard work of Kathy Dunlap, CTR, and Janelle Charles, Cancer Program Coordinator, who play a pivotal role in our cancer program. While Cancer Registrars are not often out in the public eye, they play a major role in cancer data collection, patient follow up, and cancer program standards compliance.
Kathy Dunlap has worked at HMSL since March 22, 2004 and Janelle Charles joined the HMSL Cancer Program Team in August 2016.
Without their efforts, we would not be able to maintain our Comprehensive Cancer Program accreditation through the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. HMSL is one of the 25% of hospitals in the US that hold this designation.
