The nursing staff is comprised of a registered nurse, Maryann Sabetti-Gramajo, and two certified nurse practitioners, Mary Knust-Graichen and Karen Flaherty, the latter of whom is also the Nurse Program Manager.
The nurses work with the physicians to provide education, post-operative care, coordination of outside resources and emotional support for the Center’s patients.
In addition, the nurse practitioners specialize in the evaluation and management of patients with breast-related concerns and are available for an initial evaluation.
