After 6 years of bringing listeners key insights into the most pressing topics in oncology, ACCC's podcast, CANCER BUZZ, has gotten a facelift! In this episode, CANCER BUZZ brings back our first podcast guest, Tina Curtis, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, executive director of cancer services at Froedtert Hospital. In the June 26, 2019, inaugural CANCER BUZZ episode, Dr. Curtis spoke about her institution's 24-hour, oncology-only urgent care clinic, which earned the cancer program a 2018 ACCC Innovator Award. Today, she's returned with her colleague Jayme Cotter to share an update on that program, as well as recent innovations happening at Froedtert Hospital.

"I would venture to guess I've probably talked to no less than 20 or 25 different organizations that found out about the 24-hour urgent care clinic through ACCC's journal and podcast…to have meaningful conversations about where and how to start."

"Another piece that we are looking at expanding is the ability to have a virtual visit from the 24-hour clinic advanced practice providers."
