Dr. Chirantan Ghosh
MD, FACP, MBA
Dr. Chirantan Ghosh has practiced oncology and hematology in Cedar Rapids for 30 years. His respect for patients and commitment to giving them choices and control form the foundation of our Patients First philosophy. Dr. Ghosh promises each patient he will be with them on every step of their journey. And he is.
Mindy Martin
Nurse Practitioner, AOCNP
As a nurse practitioner at The Ghosh Center, I care for oncology and hematology patients from the start of treatment through follow up. I have walked this cancer walk as a daughter, friend and provider and bring that perspective to our patients and their loved ones.
LaNette Faaborg
RN, OCN, CBCN
The foundation of The Ghosh Center was set in 2002 through hard work, dedication and determination when Dr. Ghosh started Iowa Blood and Cancer Care. Our small staff all shared the same belief of doing what was right and good for our patients. Doing whatever it takes to put patients first and provide the best care of the whole person is why we are here.
Terri Hamilton
Receptionist
My job as receptionist is to greet and make the patients feel welcome. It is my dream job. I met Dr Ghosh and his team when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Having faith in him and the entire team helped me endure a difficult time. I’m honored to be part of that team, where I strive to brighten the days of patients.
Leesa Morrison
Health Coach
I chose to work at The Ghosh Center because the philosophy that “what you eat does make a difference” was apparent in the way Dr. Ghosh and Mindy advise their patients. I believe it makes a huge difference in someone’s cancer journey when they take full advantage of nutritional guidance. I love meeting with the patients, getting to know them on a personal level and assisting them in any area that I can.
Laurie Plante
RN, OCN
I feel blessed to be a part of The Ghosh Center team. We’re fortunate to have an amazing group of professionals with a lot of clinical experience. Throughout my years of nursing, I have to say this is the most caring group I’ve ever worked with. We truly do put the patients and their families first.
Joni Tharp
Medical Technologist
I enjoy working at The Ghosh Center because I believe in the philosophy and practice of putting the patient first. It’s an honor to be an integral part of the Ghosh team of professionals. My job entails collecting patients’ samples and performing the appropriate laboratory tests in order to provide information for diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
Becki Tinder
CPhT
My role includes managing all operations of the medication dispensary, which includes filling prescriptions, inventory management, medication compliance and insurance billing and claims. I am blessed to be in a position to help others, especially during difficult times in their lives. If I can help to relieve the stress of one patient, for even one moment of this journey, then I have succeeded.
