Background

About Karina Ortega

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) Registered Nurse with specialized experience in both Oncology Infusion and Ambulatory Endoscopy nursing. I hold the ONS/ONCC Chemotherapy Immunotherapy Certificate, demonstrating my commitment to providing safe, evidence-based cancer treatment. In the oncology setting, I provide compassionate care to patients receiving chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and supportive treatments—guiding them with clinical precision and emotional support. In ambulatory endoscopy, I focus on patient safety, procedural efficiency, and seamless coordination with providers and care teams. Fluent in Spanish, I am able to connect with a broader patient population, breaking down language barriers and delivering inclusive, culturally sensitive care. I’m passionate about advocating for patients, supporting their families, and contributing to a collaborative healthcare environment that promotes healing and dignity.
