Greetings,
At Western States Cancer Research NCORP, we are committed to the health, well-being, and safety of our patients, their families, our constituents, and our staff. Like everyone else, we find ourselves navigating through uncharted territory during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are following the directives of the CDC and the Central IRB which is housed in the National Institutes of Health.
As we continue to monitor the virus, we will remain fully functional with the delivery/administration of our treatment protocols. Any clinical staff members who work in direct contact with our patients will continue to take every precaution to ensure there is no increased risk to the patients or their family members.
In our attempt to help slow the spread of the virus, Western States Cancer Research NCORP will follow our normal hours of operation, although our staff will be working remotely most of their week. Each staff member is fully equipped to maintain normal workday procedures including email and telephone communications, as well as having the ability to host virtual meetings. We have made every adjustment to ensure that we continue to provide excellent service to our constituencies while protecting our staff and the community at large.
Take good care of yourselves and each other.
Warm regards,
Lisa A. Switzer, M.A.
