At Colorado Blood Cancer Institute, our Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) are an essential part of our team. APPs include nurse practitioners and physician assistants who work closely with our physicians to diagnose, treat, and manage care for our patients. They bring skill, compassion, and dedication to every aspect of patient care, helping ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients and their families.

Our APPs care for patients both in the hospital and in outpatient settings, and they’re also a key part of our outreach efforts across Colorado and beyond. Their expertise, dedication, and teamwork make a real difference for every patient we see.

We’re so grateful for their commitment and the incredible care they provide to our patients. Learn more about our team on our Web site: https://bloodcancerinstitute.com/physicians/listing #

Our team’s commitment to excellence extends far beyond the exam room and clinic. At CBCI, we are always collaborating, innovating and finding new ways to strengthen our program, advance patient care and promote quality service. This weekend, our providers took time away from their families and loved ones to gather offsite to share ideas, deepen expertise and strengthen teamwork. We were honored to be joined by HCA HealthONE division leaders and HCA Healthcare Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute leaders who offered meaningful contributions. We are so grateful for our incredible team here at CBCI and within our larger HCA Healthcare system who are always demonstrating their dedication to our patients and advancing patient care!

Support Group Tonight: Let’s Talk Intimacy & Cancer

Join us TONIGHT at 5:30 p.m. MT for an online support group with our psychosocial team and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. This month, we’re exploring a topic that’s often overlooked but deeply important: Sexuality and intimacy while living with a cancer diagnosis.

Our guest speaker, Matthew Higgins, LPC, brings specialized experience in supporting individuals and caregivers navigating the emotional and physical aspects of cancer. Matthew believes that discussing s*xual health and intimacy openly can be profoundly healing. It will be a chance to explore touch, connection, and emotional closeness in a safe, supportive environment.

Even if this topic doesn’t seem to apply to you, we invite you to approach it holistically. Intimacy isn’t just about s*x. It’s about human connection, closeness, touch, and emotional well-being. Curiosity and openness can be a powerful part of coping and healing.

The CBCI Psychosocial Team, in conjunction with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, will be hosting its online support group next 👉Tuesday, October 28, from 5:30 to 6:45 p.m.👈

This group meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month to provide mutual support and the opportunity to discuss questions and concerns with others who share similar experiences. Sharing in this way strengthens family bonds, creates new connections, and enhances everyone’s ability to cope with cancer.

Participants will also have the chance to hear from expert guest speakers on topics such as financial support, nutrition, palliative care, stress management, and insights from local survivors.

Congratulations to Stacey Braden on 25 incredible years with our team!

We’re so proud to celebrate Stacey’s amazing milestone and the dedication she’s shown over the past quarter century. Stacey began her career in 2000 as a phlebotomist and lab assistant in the HCA HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke's main lab, where she worked for 23 years before joining the Colorado Blood Cancer Institute as a Lab Coordinator Assistant.

Today, Stacey plays an instrumental role in supporting the receiving, processing, and sending of labs for hundreds of patients each week—ensuring every test is handled with accuracy, care, and compassion. Her hard work behind the scenes helps make exceptional care possible for our patients every single day.

Please join us in congratulating Stacey on 25 years of service, dedication, and excellence! We’re so grateful to have you as part of the CBCI family!
