Priorities in Dr. Hirschey’s work include: (1) co-creating interventions with key stakeholders; (2) creating interventions to be scalable and sustainable in oncology practice; and (3) tailoring interventions for groups who are disproportionately impacted by cancer. Dr. Hirschey serves on the Oncology Nursing Society Triangle Chapter Board as co-chair of leadership and mentorship. She is passionate about working with oncology nurses and students to implement evidence-based practice changes and increase equity in nursing education, practice and research.
