In Honor of Retirement

East Setauket Radiation Receptionist Nancy Wunderlich has been part of the New York Cancer & Blood Specialists family for 29 years. She has had a wonderful time throughout her career journey and has learned so much.

Nancy started in 1993 managing the front desk for Nuclear Scanning Associates; an imaging center owned by the practice’s previous name, North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates (NSHOA). The position was part-time, so she also worked in the main office in the billing department. When the company opened its first radiation therapy center in Setauket at 181 Belle Meade Road, Nancy took the front desk position full-time.

Although Nancy studied nutrition at Farmingdale State College, she spent the following 16 years raising her two boys. Her oldest son, Frank, worked as a radiation therapist at NYCBS for eight years alongside Clinical Director of Radiation Oncology Sean Hyland. She loved having her son work with her during that time.

“I’ve enjoyed my job, my coworkers, and have always felt great satisfaction in working in a field that helps so many,” said Nancy. “I was blessed to see some real miracles during my time. I’ve realized how precious life is and to live every day to the fullest.”

In the next chapter of Nancy’s life, as she moves into retirement, she plans to travel and spend time with her family and friends.
