Secretary
Susan Minsaas MSN, RN, OCN

Hello all! I'm excited to serve on the SNHON board as the secretary. I've been an oncology nurse for 10 years, and before that I worked on the administrative side of oncology for 15 years. Helping patients and their families take the abnormal and frightening nature of a cancer diagnosis and make it more manageable is a passion of mine. My go to mantra for my patients is encouraging them to live their life and let me worry about their treatment needs and coordination of care.
I moved to southern New Hampshire almost 2 years ago with my family and am proud to work for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in our Merrimack Valley location in Methuen, MA with an amazing team.
I'm a huge Disney fan, I even lived 20 minutes from Walt Disney World for four years. I'm happy to be back in New England and a part of this wonderful community.

I have been an active member of ONS since 2001. Volunteering and participation in our local ONS chapter is so rewarding. The SNHON chapter has many opportunities for new and experienced nurses to attend educational programs to keep them informed about the constantly changing oncology landscape.
I recently retired from nursing but I remain passionate about patient advocacy and the support ONS provides.
I am currently a volunteer for the American Cancer Society. In my new role at Catholic Medical Center I am on a core team to promote screening for breast cancer in the primary care setting.
I also enjoy volunteering for ACS on the planning team for the Concord Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. My favorite retirement activities are spending time with my two granddaughters, hiking, and attending live music events any time I get the chance.
