Debra Patt, President of the Community Oncology Alliance, Executive Vice President Policy and Strategy at Texas Oncology, Chair of AI Task Force at ASCO, shared on LinkedIn:
“I love the Rio Grande Valley!
And I am so proud of my friend and colleague Guillermo Lazo who leads the practice there in the RGV who spoke so eloquently at the opening of the McAllen West Cancer Center!
With the help and support of talented leaders like Bryan Crail, Lance Ortega, Brian Burns, Jason Shook, Catherine Tsien Swick, Michael Teneriello, Steve Paulson, Kate Bowen, Randy Tartt, Erica Campegnaro and others we were able to see this dream to a reality for the patients of south Texas.
And a very special thanks to the beautiful and talented Francelia Lazo whose hospitality and charm makes us keep wanting to come back for more. Thank you to the whole team for your efforts. The patients in the RGV will benefit from your efforts!”
