A breast cancer patient and family navigator, Glorymar Dorta ensures a smooth transition from surgery to medical oncology treatment, helping overcome any barriers to care the women may have. But she’s also focused on providing social support, especially to those without an extended family. “I’ve recently gone through a traumatic experience myself, so I know the emotions cancer patients are feeling. The rapport and trust we’re able to form is therapeutic for each of us,” Dorta said.
A chemo-certified nurse, Dorta has been spent the last two years of a 25-year healthcare career in the Memorial system. She enjoys the diverse culture and appreciates her managers at oncology support services. “Leadership here asks for input and makes time to listen to ideas,” said Dorta. “We have a family where everyone can express themselves. It’s not like that other places I’ve been.”
