Behind every breakthrough in cancer care, there’s a nurse who made a difference. Oncology nurses are the heart of patient-centered care, advocating, educating, and comforting at every stage of cancer journey. But who supports them?
As the Oncology Nursing Society celebrates its 50th anniversary, it’s a fitting moment to spotlight Ryan Iwamoto, newly appointed President of the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF) Board of Directors. With a career rooted in patient-centered care and a lifelong passion for advancing the profession, Ryan brings both heart and perspective to this leadership role.
When you donate to the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF), you’re doing more than just funding a scholarship; you remove barriers and power real-world change.

The 50th Annual ONS Congress in Denver, Colorado, was a landmark celebration of oncology nursing excellence—bringing together more than 4,000 attendees in one of the largest gatherings in Congress history.

The Oncology Nursing Foundation is thankful for our many friends in the oncology nursing community. ONF is pleased to recognize Cassandra Green, DNP, MSN, RN, OCN®, with the 2025 Friend of the Foundation Award.
Every May, Oncology Nursing Month celebrates the role of oncology nurses in patient care and the impact they have. This year’s theme, Caring Beyond Limits, recognizes the extraordinary dedication of nurses who go above and beyond every day.
