A property of Formedics, Cancer Nursing Today is a digital resource promoting shared learning and collaboration to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. The CARE Award recognizes oncology nurses and advanced practitioners who provide cancer care across the continuum.

"Receiving the CARE Award is both humbling and deeply meaningful to me," said Dr. Selchick. "It represents more than just individual recognition. It reflects the collective spirit of compassion, advocacy, dedication, resilience, and excellence."

Dr. Selchick is an oncology nurse leader with more than 15 years of combined clinical and leadership experience. She earned her BS in psychology from St. Thomas Aquinas College, her BSN from Duke University, her MSN from the Oncology Nurse Practitioner Program at Yale University, and her DNP from the University of Connecticut.

In her role as regional director of Cancer Services at Westchester Medical Center Health Network Western Region, Dr. Selchick oversees cancer services for three hospitals and an ambulatory care site, with direct oversight of all facets of oncology, including staffing, oncology nursing practice, ambulatory infusion sites, clinical workflows, operations, and more.

Sushil Bhardwaj, MD, FACP, of the Westchester Medical Center's Bobbi Lewis Cancer Program and Good Samaritan Hospital, nominated Dr. Selchick for the Third Annual CARE Award.

"Faith is one of a kind," Dr. Bhardwaj explained in the nomination. "She embodies the characteristics of a compassionate, intelligent, and empathetic oncology leader. She leads by example and mentors staff, molding them into their roles and advancing their skill sets. She leaves lasting impressions on patient care and always treats patients, colleagues, and staff with respect. Faith is an admired and essential part of the oncology program at our hospital and makes a difference every day."

Dr. Selchick was named one of four finalists by a blinded selection committee of oncology nurses and advanced practitioners who reviewed all nominations. The Cancer Nursing Today readership and oncology nursing community voted to determine who would receive this year's CARE Award, naming Dr. Selchick as this year's recipient.

"We are proud to honor Faith Selchick with the Third Annual Cancer Nursing Today CARE Award in recognition of her outstanding leadership and exemplary contributions to the field of oncology nursing," said Helen Moran, chief content and product officer at Formedics. "Her dedication to advancing oncology nursing practice and her unwavering commitment to clinical excellence through ensuring compassionate, patient-centered care truly exemplify the values of the CARE Award."

The CARE Award offers a valuable opportunity for healthcare professionals to recognize oncology nurses and advanced practitioners through the nomination and voting process, encouraging them to reflect on the dedication, resilience, and strength of their colleagues throughout the award cycle.
