Philip is the Director of our Oncology and Overflow units. The unit director displays many leadership qualities. The main qualities that stand out are collaboration, team building, dedication to excellence, and adaptability to change.
The unit director has built a collaborative team to care for his complex hematological oncology patients. The unit has had many frequent changes, and he has built a great team to support the changes for the organization. The unit has gone from an overflow unit to becoming a groundbreaking unit to provide CAR T-Cell therapy. They have also transitioned to caring for higher acuity intermediate level of care patients. His unit has also transitioned from a 16-bed unit to a 26-bed unit as the specialty service continues to grow.
On top of his ever-evolving unit, he also manages multiple overflow areas, which have tripled in size over the past two years. He also, volunteers to manage a 3rd overflow area (TRU) on Sundays should the need arise.
He is committed to excellence in his role and a dedicated leader to his staff. He maintains a healthy work environment for his staff. With all the overflow areas he manages, shortages occur. Frequently, he comes in on nights and weekends to support his staff. He is always available and responsive to the nursing supervisors to troubleshoot any issues on his multiple units.
Many oncology patients on the unit have been affected in a devastating way and are nearing the end of their lives. The UD’s special connection with his patients should not go unnoticed. The positive approach and kindness he provides to his patients are immeasurable. The kind deeds he has done for his patients are endless. Many times, he is buying them video games, bringing in special food for them, or will sit them in silence to provide comfort.
