Congratulations to Barb Johnson, September Member of the Month

Barb Johnson is the CTC-ONS Member of the Month for September, 2008. She is a very experienced oncology nurse with well over 30 years of service at Good Samaritan Hospital. For the last 20 years Barb has worked in oncology. She truly loves working with the oncology patients, especially the leukemic patients, commenting that "they become like family".

She is a proponent of patient education and advocacy at work and in the community. She is very involved in volunteering in the community, such as the Meals on Wheels program. She also volunteers at the Black Family Reunion and was part of the cervical cancer-screening program last year. Barb also participated at the Hispanic Festival in providing information on breast health.

Barb has two grown children, a son and a daughter. In what little time she has for herself, Barb does enjoy singing and reading. Barb has joined the Chapter Program Committee, so at the next CTC meeting, say "Hi" to Barb and thank her for her efforts in planning and helping with chapter meetings.
