Vogel, MSN, FNP, AOCNP®, talks with Sharon Moore, DPh, Regional Coordinator for ONE Tennessee and Public Health Academic Detailer for Metro Drug Coalition, on how being cognizant of potential ACEs a patient with cancer may have can help inform and improve the care and education advanced practitioners provide.
