Four new providers recently joined UCHealth teams in northern Colorado to provide additional cancer care as well as urgent care, general surgery and occupational health services.
All four providers are now caring for patients as part of UCHealth’s provider group, Colorado Health Medical Group.
Nurse practitioner Ruth Conley has joined the team of providers at UCHealth Cancer Center, 2121 E. Harmony Road in Fort Collins and UCHealth Cancer Care, 2500 Rocky Mountain Ave. in Loveland.
She believes in a holistic approach that will help carry patients with cancer as well as their families through their difficult, life-changing journey. “From diagnosis through cancer treatment and beyond, I believe in supporting not only the physical, but the spiritual and mental facets as well. I want them to feel that I am there for them every step of the way,” Conley said.
Her research interests include finding natural therapies that minimize or eliminate post treatment adverse effects of neuropathy, fatigue and myalgias.
She earned a master’s degree in nursing from Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Ind.
