HUNTINGTON, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Harborside, a market-leading communications company with a focus in oncology, has welcomed Wendy Vogel, MSN, FNP, AOCNP®, as Director of Association Management. Ms. Vogel, a board-certified oncology nurse practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience, will serve as the Executive Director for the Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO).

“Wendy has been involved with APSHO since its inception, and she is passionate about the society’s mission to improve cancer care while furthering the role of the advanced practitioner,” said Sandra Leatherman Towell, CMP, Vice President and Director of Conference & Society Management at Harborside. “We are thrilled that she has joined Harborside to serve in this capacity.

She will also contribute her clinical expertise to Harborside’s award-winning content across its publishing portfolio.

“Advanced practitioners are, and will continue to be, one of the cornerstones of the oncology team,” said Ms. Vogel. “APSHO is replete with thought leaders and skilled clinicians who improve the care of people with cancer through collaborative approaches. I am both humbled and honored to serve the APSHO membership in this role and to assist in furthering the society’s mission and vision. As the Executive Director of APSHO, I believe my most gratifying successes will not be defined by what I do, but by what I can empower others to do.”

In her most recent role, Ms. Vogel worked as an oncology nurse practitioner at Ballad Health Cancer Care–Kingsport in Kingsport, Tennessee. She has also served on the Wellmont Medical Associates Board of Directors, as well as chaired several committees, including the Wellmont Medical Associates Advanced Practitioner Committee.

“Wendy is a true leader in the world of oncology advanced practice.

I can’t think of a better person to guide APSHO and Harborside toward this mutual goal.”
