We asked Parkview providers to share what motivates them to show up for conversations surrounding cancer screenings.
Taylor Quintanilla, nurse leader
My name is Taylor Quintanilla, and I am one of the nurse leaders on the infusion floor. I'm here today to help patients be a little bit more aware and familiar with what they're walking into when they come to see us at PFCI.
I agreed to be a part of this because I think it's important that patients feel like they can kind of put a name to the face of who they're going to be spending their time with whenever they come see us. I've had a lot of people close to me benefit from cancer screening, so I think it's important that if you suspect something, you get it checked out.
Dr. Joshua Leichty
Cancer will affect everyone and has affected everyone in some way, probably. If one woman sees this, who's not going to see me in the office, but then decides to see someone else, that's already made a difference.
I have a wife and three boys. It's very important to me that I show up for things like this so that they show up for things that they need to do in the future.
My wife actually has to get some screenings that are a little bit off the normal guidelines, just because of some family history. So, I kind of know how difficult it is for women to have to go to mammograms and get different screenings. That's why I show up.
