We’re proud to spotlight the dedicated providers at UPMC Hillman Cancer Center at the Schwab Family Cancer Pavilion who care for our community every day.

For Risa Barton, CRNP, the most meaningful part of cancer care is the opportunity to build lasting relationships with patients and their families. From answering questions and managing symptoms to offering reassurance during difficult moments, Risa is dedicated to helping patients feel supported, informed, and never alone.

She is inspired every day by the strength and resilience of the people she cares for and feels privileged to celebrate milestones, victories, and moments of hope alongside them.

Her message to patients: Take things one step at a time. It's okay to have questions, worries, and difficult days. Our team is here to support you through every stage of treatment and survivorship.

Fun fact: Outside of work, Risa is fully embracing her “sports mom era,” cheering on her kids at practices and games. She also enjoys spending time with her husband and their two dogs!

Please join us in congratulating Ann Mowry, our recent PETALS Award winner!

Ann, a patient care technician on our Perinatal Unit is known for her kindness, compassion, and unwavering support of the patients she cares for. From the moment she enters a room, she helps patients feel safe and comfortable with her warm smile, gentle nature, and positive attitude.

Patients describe Ann as attentive, respectful, and thoughtful, always going above and beyond to meet their needs. Whether adjusting care around a new mom's schedule, offering encouragement during difficult moments, or simply bringing comfort and reassurance, Ann makes a lasting impact on those she serves. Her dedication doesn't end when patients leave the hospital, as she continues to offer guidance and support when it's needed most.

Thank you, Ann, for the extraordinary care, compassion, and encouragement you provide to our patients and families every day.
