Tia is also an integral part of supportive care. She participates in group activities as well as one-on-one interactions. She is trained in diverse settings, so you may also see her outside the cancer center at nursing homes or community events. Her playful nature and love for belly scratches and rope toys create some normalcy and joy, which is especially beneficial for our younger patients. Through her work with the Young Adult Cancer Support program and the Families Connected program, Tia helps to foster a nurturing community where patients and their families can connect, share, and heal together.
In addition to assisting patients, Tia is here to support our dedicated staff. Caring for patients with cancer and their families can be challenging, and Tia supplies a much-needed sense of peace and relaxation.
We are thrilled to have Tia as a part of our team at Simmons Cancer Center. She offers a unique and invaluable element to the care we provide. Whether you're here for treatment, visiting a loved one, or working hard to help our patients, Tia is always ready to brighten your day.
