The Registered Nurse is responsible for utilizing the nursing process to provide evidence-based care and to continuously monitor and evaluate practice to ensure safe passage of patients that is in the best interest of populations served.

 

HOCT specializes in the care of hematology and oncology patients, including those undergoing bone marrow transplants (Autologous, Allogeneic, and Haploidentical), Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy (CAR T) and Bispecific T-Cell Engager (BiTE) therapies. Approximately 80% of our patients have a cancer diagnosis, with the remaining cases encompassing general medicine, surgery, and other medical conditions.

 

In late August 2026 the team relocated to the new, state of the art patient pavilion here at DHMC. This unit has been designed with patients, families, and staff in mind. This new space includes 32 private rooms; increased capacity for cellular therapy patients; a larger infusion suite with 7 chairs; and increased patient and family centered care areas, including a consult room and a family respite space. The design incorporated dedicated staff spaces including a staff respite room, locker rooms, a break room, a conference room, and a large interdisciplinary rounding space on the unit. This is a great opportunity to work with a National Cancer Institute where the resources for patients are unparalleled.
