Playing to Win

When it comes to fighting cancer, the team of clinicians at the John R. Marsh Cancer Center play to win.

Michael Madsen, PharmD, BCOP, is the cancer center’s pharmacist, dedicated to helping patients with all aspects of their medications and associated side effects. He also happens to be a very busy, community-oriented person who coaches soccer and lacrosse teams in his spare time.

Like his role as a coach, Mike’s role in the John R. Marsh Cancer Center is all about teamwork—different specialists working closely together to provide the very best treatment for cancer patients.

Mike huddles with the physicians at the John R. Marsh Cancer Center every morning, going over what each patient needs. He then spends most of the day, every day, talking to patients and families about their cancer treatment and addressing any questions or concerns they may have.
