Nurse practitioners and physician associates from Penn Medicine join APSHO, a national network of health-care professionals devoted to a collaborative approach to cancer care.

HIGHTSTOWN, N.J., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Advanced Practitioner Society for Hematology and Oncology (APSHO) welcomes hematology-oncology advanced practitioners, including nurse practitioners and physician associates, from Penn Medicine as Institutional Members.

APSHO, now over 7,000 members strong, is the only society dedicated to an interdisciplinary team approach to cancer treatment. The society's mission is to improve the quality of care for patients with cancer by supporting critical issues in educational, clinical, and professional development for advanced practitioners in hematology and oncology.

Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers and home of the Abramson Cancer Center (ACC) at the University of Pennsylvania, an NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

"APSHO welcomes the hematology-oncology advanced practitioners from Penn Medicine. We acknowledge the value they place on their patients and the advanced practitioners who care for them," commented Wendy Vogel, FNP, FAPO, APSHO's Executive Director. "The hematology-oncology advanced practitioner is a critical member of the cancer care team. APSHO provides critical clinical information and professional education and embraces the interdisciplinary team approach to cancer care as the best hope for improved patient outcomes."

Institutional membership with APSHO provides institutions significant discounts on membership and clinical education, a cost savings that is essential at a time when educational budgets are shrinking and the science of oncology is expanding. The society offers advanced practitioners a rich network of oncology professionals to collaborate with. APSHO's mentoring program gives professionals the opportunity to share expertise and best practices with colleagues across the country. The APSHO AP Academy equips advanced practitioners with a wealth of educational offerings to provide safe and high-quality care.
