Deanna A. Griffie, NP
Overview
Oncology has always been my specialty interest throughout my career as a nurse and now as a nurse practitioner. Robust research efforts renders oncology an ever changing and evolving field which satisfies my personal preference to be always in pursuit of education and new opportunities to learn and grow professionally and personally. My primary clinical interest is ensuring optimal and personalized patient and family navigation through the cancer trajectory to anticipate, address, and reduce barriers to high-quality cancer care. In my time away from work, I most enjoy travel, gardening, reading, writing, and spending as much time outdoors as possible. I love being near the water and enjoy nearly any activity in, near or by a river, lake or ocean. Particularly precious are the opportunities I have to travel with or simply spend time relaxing with my husband, our adult children and their families and our parents.

Additional Areas of Focus
Griffie has provided the following conditions as areas of focus. Please note that we may not have enough data to validate their experience in some of these conditions.
I am a nurse practitioner specializing in hospice care. Hospice care is a special kind of care that focuses on the quality of life for people who are experiencing an advanced, life-limiting illness. Hospice care provides compassionate care for people in the last phases of incurable disease so that they may live as well as they can for as long as they can. The hospice philosophy accepts death as the final stage of life: it affirms life, but does not try to hasten or postpone death. Hospice care treats the person and symptoms of the disease, rather than treating the disease itself. A team of professionals work together to manage symptoms so that a person’s last days may be spent with dignity and quality, surrounded by their loved ones.
