Ms. Rodriguez leads nursing and patient care services across inpatient, ambulatory, research and specialty oncology settings at Fox Chase Cancer Center, setting the vision for professional practice, quality, safety and patient experience. A board-certified oncology nurse and advanced nurse executive, she pairs clinical expertise with strong operational discipline, including labor relations and the execution of complex technology and workflow initiatives. She helped architect the ambulatory care excellence model to improve access, care coordination, efficiency and role clarity, which earned national recognition with the Association of Cancer Care Centers “Innovator Award” for 2025. Under her leadership, the organization achieved significant progress in harm reduction, including declines in hospital-acquired infections and conditions, while sustaining exceptionally low RN turnover compared with national benchmarks. She has expanded scholarship and research capacity by strengthening nursing publications and presentations, and has recruited research leadership that contributed to meaningful grant funding. Ms. Rodriguez is also advancing evidence-based leadership innovation through initiatives like a four-day workweek model for nurse leaders and data-driven staffing optimization approaches. She continues to contribute nationally through committee work with groups such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network.
