Beaufort Memorial Oncology Specialists add Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

OKATIE, S.C. – To better serve individuals diagnosed with cancer in southern Beaufort County, Beaufort Memorial has added a board-certified family nurse practitioner to the medical oncology team at Beaufort Memorial Oncology Specialists.

Lindsay Gamble, FNP-BC, will bring her diverse background in palliative and critical care and infusion therapy to the Beaufort Memorial cancer treatment team. At the New River Cancer Center in Okatie, she will see medical and hematology patients before, during and after treatment; manage chemotherapy infusions and education; recommend, facilitate and interpret laboratory testing; and order imaging.

“Lindsay will be an excellent addition to the team at Beaufort Memorial Oncology Specialists,” said Beaufort Memorial President and CEO Russell Baxley. “Her wide-ranging experience and personal connection to patients and their care will allow patients receiving cancer treatment at the practice to feel heard, valued and well cared for.”

Gamble’s commitment to patient-first, personalized cancer care developed over her years of nursing experience in Tennessee, California, Virginia and Louisiana, with her most recent experience in both emergency medicine and infusion therapy in Beaufort County. Her passion for the medical oncology field grew in intensity after supporting multiple family members through their cancer treatment journey – including her father.

Gamble graduated with a Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner concentration at the University of Memphis in Memphis, Tenn., in 2017. She’s bringing her knowledge and drive for compassionate cancer care to Beaufort Memorial from her most recent position at Palmetto Infusion Services in Okatie and is dedicated to providing high-quality care to patients receiving treatment for all types of cancer while exploring all of their options.

“I believe in listening, empathy and support, recognizing the profound impact of a cancer diagnosis on patients and their families,” Gamble said. “My mission is to provide not just care, but hope, dignity and resilience.”

At the New River Cancer Center, Gamble joins Drs. Eric Turner and Michael Porrazzo, oncology nurse navigator Catherine Healy, RN, BSN, and oncology social workers Kianna Brown, LMSW, and Samantha Bruns, LBSW.

Beaufort Memorial cancer programs focus on prevention, screening and treatment of a wide variety of cancers. Patients have access to medical oncology, radiation oncology, cancer surgeries and lab, imaging, infusion and breast health services at both the New River Cancer Center in Okatie, as well as the Keyserling Cancer Center in Beaufort.

Both Cancer Centers offer education and support services, oncology-certified nurses, dietitians, social workers and more to meet patient needs.
