Paula Neidhard, DNP, always knew she wanted to go into nursing. During a rotation in oncology, she fell in love with the specialty and dedicated her career to cancer patients and their journeys. Over more than 30 years, including 20 as a nurse practitioner, she has gained extensive experience in every subspecialty of oncology. She values the opportunity to connect with patients by spending time, listening carefully and providing information.
As a certified nurse practitioner, Paula works with patients and their families during the diagnosis and treatment process for cancer. She also provides palliative care. By letting them take the lead in sharing concerns, Paula provides a safe space where patients can feel heard. She wants people to feel comfortable sharing all aspects of their lives so she can treat their symptoms holistically. She encourages everyone to do what makes them happy to live a meaningful life.
Originally from Vancouver, British Columbia, Paula is married and has four stepsons. She is an avid golfer and runs a women’s league. She enjoys gardening, travel and cooking.
