Advanced Practice Nurse, Director of Patient Navigation Services
Astera Cancer Care
I am Lauren Kiley MSN, APN-BC, AOCNP, and I am a dedicated Nurse Practitioner, as well as Director of Patient Navigation Services with Astera Cancer Care in Central New Jersey since 2019. As an APN, who strives to provide expert care but also emotional support, to patients and their families. I can empathize with patients because of my personal experience with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma as a teenager. I was treated by an amazing care team including a nurse practitioner who inspired me to become and APN myself. Oncology has been by passion ever since. I strive to be as exceptional as she was and truly hold myself to the highest standards. I truly enjoy building relationships with patients and being able to provide continuity of care. Since starting my career with Astera Cancer Care, I have grown personally and professionally as I advanced into an administrative role with directing Patient Navigation. I oversee the department and have developed many new workflows to enhance patient care and their experiences. As the world of oncology continues to expand, I look forward to growing alongside with it.
