Meet the Moores Cancer Center Experience Officer
Suzanne Agarwal, MS, RN, is the patient advocate at Moores Cancer Center.
Suzanne Agarwal, MS, RN, serves as the patient advocate for all patients receiving cancer care at UC San Diego Health, including Moores Cancer Center and our outpatient clinics in Encintas and Vista. Suzanne strives to help make each patient's experience positive and memorable.
Suzanne spends parts of each day walking the halls, talking with patients, caregivers, and family members. She also strives to be the patient voice behind the scenes, by offering a patient perspective at staff meetings and in decisions about how our patient care areas function.
As a former nurse in emergency medicine and trauma care, Suzanne has a rich history of advocating for patients, including people who learned they had cancer in the emergency room. She has also been in the role of family member, when her mother was diagnosed with leukemia.
Suzanne has had a long association with Moores Cancer Center. As the former chair of the
Patient & Family Advisory Council, she is knowledgeable about patient needs and committed to listening carefully and integrating ideas that help us deliver excellent and compassionate care.
Suzanne welcomes contact from patients. To reach her directly, call 858-534-5561 or email
