Shanda Phippen, MS, CGC
My specialties:
- Genetic counseling
Research is teaching us that personalized medicine is the way of the future. As a certified genetic counselor, every day I see that each patient has a different history and has different goals and desires. My objective is to learn each patient’s history, understand their goals, and foster patient empowerment in the risk assessment process. With this in mind, our collective purpose can be to reduce their and their family’s cancer risks and to find cancer early when it will be more easily and effectively treated.
Our team provides services to multiple sites of the Allina Health Cancer Institute and via TeleHealth at a number of regional and affiliate partners.
