Some patients see Mulligan for years as they navigate their cancer journey. She didn\u2019t initially share her own diagnosis with them, but they would pick up on signs such as hair loss from the chemotherapy and express their support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would call me and check on me,\u201d she said. \u201cOne of them brought me flowers.

Some days, they could see she wasn\u2019t feeling well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe team would look at me, and they\u2019d be like, \u2018Riley, take a nap. Riley, go home, we\u2019ve got it.\u2019 They were incredibly supportive,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Leslie Ross, manager of supportive care oncology with the cancer center, said Mulligan \u201chas true sympathy for our patients\u201d and an amazing ability to bond with patients as well as colleagues \u2013 building a bridge between palliative care and oncology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA connector is a good way to put it,\u201d Ross said. \u201cAnd a good friend and personality in the cancer center. She is humorous, and that is something that is nice to have in this world where we are all faced with very difficult scenarios every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before entering health care, Mulligan worked as an information technology architect for 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to do something to make a difference in people\u2019s lives. I went back to nursing school,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Graduating in her mid-30s, she joined UCHealth Poudre Valley Hospital as a float pool nurse. She later served as an educator before moving to the palliative care team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeing able to work with patients and families again has been amazing and fulfilling,\u201d she said, \u201cand sometimes, really emotionally difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about Mulligan and her cancer journey in <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/today\/finding-peace-on-the-water-nurse-navigates-breast-cancer-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UCHealth Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting patients with cancer, while battling cancer As a palliative care nurse navigator with UCHealth Cancer Center \u2013 Harmony Campus, Riley Mulligan gives care and guidance to patients facing especially intense cancer battles.
