Cancer Navigator
Yvonne Medrano, RN, is an Oncology Patient Navigator with a focus on liver cancer patients. Often referring to herself as a "professional hand holder," she brings a compassionate touch to her extensive 39 years of nursing experience. Yvonne has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and is dedicated to providing unwavering support and guidance to her patients.
Yvonne is an active member of Active Living After Cancer, Power of Pink, and the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN). She also facilitates the Women’s Cancer Support Group with the Rio Grande Cancer Foundation.
After 35 years in pediatric oncology, Yvonne transitioned to adult oncology, inspired by her father's struggle with illness. She is driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of adult patients.
Looking ahead, Yvonne envisions expanding cancer navigation in the El Paso community, with more navigators and positions to support comprehensive patient care.
