Changes in Cancer Care

Presenters: Jennifer Porter & Janet Smith

For our March Santa Fe Doorways, we are fortunate to have Jennifer Porter, NP along with Janet Smith, Palliative Care RN talk about changes in cancer care and the latest cancer treatments.

Jennifer Porter is the lead oncology nurse practitioner for Christus St. Vincent Regional Cancer Center. Jennifer has worked in emergency rooms, intensive care units and oncology research over the past 30 years. Ultimately, she moved into cancer care 13 years ago because she loved the patients and the goals of care. Jennifer says: “The changes in cancer care in the last 15 years have just been remarkable and are so exciting. We’re able to treat more patients and have patients feel better during treatment.” (from C.A.R.E.2023 article)

Janet Smith is a registered nurse who runs a non-profit program serving clients that have been given life-limiting diagnosis in Santa Fe and the surrounding areas. Community Palliative Care provides in-home care from a nurse who helps navigate our increasingly complex medical system. Volunteers can provide practical support. The program has been operational for eight years, filling a gap in care in our community.
