When Dr. Rupa Gupta set out to open Lotus Oncology & Hematology, she wanted more than a clinic — she wanted a sanctuary. In this episode of the PQI Podcast, Dr. Gupta shares how she built a practice that blends evidence-based treatment with compassion, mindfulness, and community connection. She discusses designing a healing environment filled with light and art, integrating therapies like acupuncture, yoga, and art therapy, and building a culture where staff well-being and patient dignity go hand in hand. Tune in to hear: * How thoughtful design and empathy transform the patient experience * Integrative therapies that support quality of life * Ways to strengthen team connection and reduce burnout * Why accessibility and trust are key to meaningful, patient-centered care

Life didn’t pause when Ashley Cartun was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer in 2023. She was teaching college full-time, raising two kids under six, and traveling to support her husband’s NCAA basketball season. Then came five months of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries — and the work of staying whole while everything changed. In this episode, Ashley shares what truly helped: friends who sat with her during infusions, care teams who explained what each step would feel like, and the surprising calm she found in sound baths. That healing experience led her to create Heal with Ashley, offering sound therapy and support to other survivors. She also talks about catching her cancer early, her advocacy with the American Cancer Society and TNBC Thrivers, and what it means when healthcare teams connect beyond test results. This episode opens Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a powerful reminder of the small things that change a patient’s journey — and the hope that follows.

What do pharmacy, the United Nations, and a love of art have in common? For Dr. Ornesha Watson, Associate Director at Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, global health advocate, and cancer survivor, each step has shaped her passion for equity and patient-centered care. In this episode, she talks about growing up in Jamaica, working in international health, and how both her father’s cancer diagnosis and her own shaped her passion for advocacy and equity. Ornesha shares what healthcare teams can do to move beyond “transactional care,” why hope is a critical part of treatment, and her vision for expanding cancer services across Jamaica and the Caribbean. In this conversation, you’ll hear: * How her experiences in pharmacy and public health come together in her patient advocacy * Why hope matters just as much as medicine in cancer care * Practical ways healthcare teams can better support patients * Her mission to reduce disparities and expand cancer services in the Caribbean

How can genetic insights change the way we treat cancer? In this episode of the PQI Podcast, Dr. Soni Tuteja, Director of Pharmacogenomics at Penn Medicine, shares how her team put pharmacogenomic testing into practice — and the impact it’s had on patients. She highlights findings from her Journal of Clinical Oncology article on DPYD and UGT1A1 testing in GI cancers, showing how pre-treatment testing helped reduce toxicities, guide dose adjustments, and support safer therapy. Listeners will also hear about: * Practical strategies to expand and sustain pharmacogenetic testing in real-world settings * How pharmacists can lead patient counseling and program implementation * The role of NCODA’s Positive Quality Interventions (PQIs), like DPYD testing before fluoropyrimidine treatment, in helping teams deliver safer, more personalized care

Cancer now accounts for nearly two-thirds of firefighter line-of-duty deaths — a risk that extends long after the sirens fade. After 25 years with the Georgetown, Kentucky Fire Department, retired Chief Tim Thompson has made it his mission to change the way fire service approaches cancer prevention. On this episode of The PQI Podcast, Chief Thompson shares how his department integrated advanced cancer screenings into firefighter health programs, gained city support to secure sustainable funding, and launched a nonprofit to cover screenings for retirees. He also reflects on the leadership lessons that shaped his career and why prevention must be built into the culture of service. Now in retirement, he’s focused on helping departments nationwide establish lasting cancer screening programs that protect firefighters throughout their careers and beyond. Listen for a conversation on leadership, prevention, and building programs that save lives.
