Rebecca McCormack, CPhT, patient assistant coordinator at Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates
Here at Carolina Blood and Cancer I handle all the infusion mixing for the chemotherapy infusions, the iron infusions, and we also do some Remicade infusions for patients who need that, as well as coordinating ordering supplies and medications for both locations. And I also handle the patient assistance side, the foundation help for all the patients, and the oral dispensing pharmacy at both locations.

But it has interaction with the patient a lot more.
