Education, Research, Clinical Care

Our Hematology/Oncology Division faculty are committed to the three pillars of state-of-the-art patient care: superior clinical care, research and an outstanding training environment. We treat patients with all cancer types, and those with benign hematological disorders.

The distinction recognizes ASCO members for their extraordinary volunteer service, dedication, and commitment to ASCO. Recipients have carried out efforts that benefit ASCO, the specialty of oncology, and, most importantly, the patients whom they serve.

Wood, who joined the University of Vermont faculty in 1997, is director of the UVM Cancer Center’s Familial Cancer Program and founder and principal investigator of the High Risk Breast Program. In addition to her service on four ASCO committees, she is also an active member of the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project and has been a Fellow of the American College of Physicians since 2010.
