Celebrating 25 Years of Service

Regina Roundtree has been part of the New York Cancer & Blood Specialists (NYCBS) team for an incredible quarter-century. Starting her journey as a Lab Assistant/Processor when NYCBS was known as North Shore Hematology Oncology Associates (NSHOA), Regina has ensured the seamless processing of vital medical samples, overseeing both day and overnight Lab Assistants. As Processing Lab Supervisor, she remains committed to ensuring doctors have prompt access to test results for the best patient care.

 Regina recalls her early days with NYCBS, where the company was a fraction of its current size, with just two offices and another in the works. She acknowledges the company's meteoric growth with awe, crediting it to visionary management. 

When asked about her enduring career, Regina shares, "I believe you have to have a caring spirit and dedication for the patients within you to keep going. I have some amazing co-workers where we support one another. This type of support makes us more like family, especially since there are days when more time is spent working than with our own families."

What has fueled Regina's dedication for 25 years? It's the patients. Having witnessed the journeys of family and friends battling cancer and blood disorders, most of them under NYCBS's care, Regina has seen firsthand the excellent medical attention they receive. Her bond with colleagues and the patients she serves has transformed her workplace into a second family. 

Regina's retirement may be on the horizon, but not just yet. Her compassion, empathy, and dedication to caring for others are qualities deeply ingrained in her.

Outside the lab, Regina enjoys vacationing in the Caribbean and cherishing precious moments with her 15-month-old grandson.

Happy 25 Years of Service, Regina!
