Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University | Augusta, Georgia
Morgan works part-time as an infusion pharmacist at the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University in Augusta, GA. She was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2013, about 14 months after joining the cancer center staff. After completing chemotherapy in the cancer center where she worked, she marked her completion of treatment in August of 2014, after radiation therapy.
Morgan lives in North Augusta, SC with her husband, elementary age daughter, and their two cats. Working part time enables her to enjoy time with her family, go on school field trips, and indulge in a good book or five.
“The unique perspective that I have obtained by being both a patient and a chemotherapy provider gives me an added ability to empathize and connect with other patients. It is privilege to introduce myself to another patient and share that I have been in their shoes. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is relatively rare and going into my treatment I knew two others that had successfully completed treatment. I enjoy giving that positive boost to other patients. I’m really looking forward to my involvement with the HOPA Patient Advisory Panel.”
