Professional Staff - Washington Hematology Oncology Yakima

Clinical Staff

Shawna Fletcher, R.Ph. joined the Washington Hematology-Oncology team as a full-time pharmacist shortly after we established the practice on Castlevale Road. Shawna is responsible for ordering and mixing the chemotherapeutic agents, maintaining the inventory of drugs, and assisting the nurses with patient education.

The two members of the clinical staff who assist patients in the examination rooms work directly with the doctors. They take and record patient’s vital signs, note any complaints or new symptoms for the doctor, and help the patient prepare for the physician’s examination. Furthermore, they are available to patients over the phone and frequently answer questions and order prescription refills for patients.

We are very fortunate to have remarkably well-trained oncology certified nurses who administer chemotherapy to our patients. They have undergone specialized training and passed a rigorous national examination which qualifies them as specialists in oncology nursing. Dr. Brady encourages members of her professional nursing staff to further their education by regularly sending them to relevant training and conferences to develop their skills and to increase their knowledge.

Pat, Jan, Barb and Carrie are not only are highly skilled at administering chemotherapy but each also has additional expertise which benefits our patients. Pat, a former Home Health and Hospice nurse, has a special interest and experience in palliative care.

When you first enter the Washington Hematology-Oncology office, you will meet several very dedicated and competent staff members. They keep the office humming by answering the phones, scheduling appointments, and making certain that the patients’ complete medical records are available to the clinicians. They also are responsible for ensuring that the charges submitted to the company which does our billing are correct and properly documented. These dedicated and experienced women keep the office running very smoothly.

Laboratory Staff

Sheryl

Dr. Brady has partnered with Interpath Laboratory to establish an extremely sophisticated laboratory located right on the office premises so that patients don’t have to wait a long time for test results and can be quickly diagnosed and treated in one visit. The lab is staffed by Sheryl, a medical laboratory technician with over twenty years of experience, and Connie.

Gloria

Gloria transcribes all of Dr. Brady's dictation with remarkable speed and accuracy. Gloria’s skills as a transcriptionist ensure that information about a patient is communicated to his or her other physician(s) within 36 hours of a visit with one of our doctors. All of Gloria’s transcription is entered into an electronic medical record called ChartConnect. This enables any member of the patient’s treatment team to immediately access important clinical information via computer.
