December 24 2020 – Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute (FCS) announced that Shelly Glenn, former Chief Marketing & Sales Officer, has been appointed to a newly created position as Chief Development & Community Partnership Officer. As part of her new assignment, Glenn will have a key role in bringing FCS to the forefront of community oncology, overseeing critical growth initiatives, as well as efforts to strengthen patient advocacy and community partnerships.
In addition to her new responsibilities, Glenn will continue to oversee referral base management, physician recruitment and the FCS Foundation, as well as fostering deeper relationships and tighter integration within the communities FCS serves by leveraging internal and external partnerships. Working with key stakeholders, she will be supporting and promoting a number of critical patient advocacy initiatives and developing go-to-market strategies for FCS service lines.

We are pleased that she will continue to provide leadership in both of these areas.”
