Jen Witt :: Stoddard Care Coordinator 

Jen joined the Stoddard team in July of 2009. Prior to coming to Stoddard she was a physician nurse with Medical Oncology and Hematology Associates in Des Moines. She has also worked as an oncology nurse on Stoddard Adult Oncology Inpatient Unit and at St. Luke's in Cedar Rapids. At Stoddard Jen specializes in the care of head and neck cancer patients and breast cancer patients. She also facilitates the Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Support Group and the Getting Started: What to Know Before Starting Chemotherapy class.

The main role of the Stoddard Cancer Care Coordinator is to help provide quality care and support for the cancer patient and their loved ones. This includes developing and overseeing the care patients receive from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. The coordinator assesses the patient's needs and informs them of the many multidisciplinary team members available to support them during their cancer journey. The patient and their loved ones receive enhanced teaching of treatment options and procedures. The cancer care coordinator lends emotional support and encouragement, helping the patient to have hope.
