Exigent Research Network Welcomes Nina Chavez to Drive Growth

The Exigent Research Network, a pioneer in providing top-notch research avenues for independent oncology practices across the country, recently declared a significant addition to their leadership team. Nina Chavez has been appointed as the new Senior Vice President of Growth. This strategic appointment comes as the organization seeks to enhance its capabilities and services in the oncology research landscape.

With over two decades of experience under her belt, Nina brings a wealth of knowledge to her new role. Prior to joining Exigent, she was Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Alliances at Flatiron Health, where she played a crucial role in launching key initiatives that fostered collaboration across the oncology community. Additionally, her tenure as Chief Operating Officer at the New Mexico Cancer Center further attests to her expertise in operational leadership and community engagement.

Dr. Sibel Blau, the President and CEO of Exigent Research Network, expressed her enthusiasm about Nina’s appointment. In her statement, Dr. Blau emphasized Nina's enduring commitment to empowering independent oncology practices and acknowledged the positive impact she has made in the industry. “Nina’s passion for community oncology aligns perfectly with our mission,” Dr. Blau stated. “Her adept ability to drive strategic growth will greatly aid Exigent in navigating its upcoming expansion phase.”

In her own words, Nina reflected on her motivation to join Exigent. She highlighted her admiration for the dedication found within community oncology and the resilience of patients and families impacted by cancer treatments. “At Exigent, I see a convergence of values that resonate deeply with me—innovation, collaboration, and a steadfast commitment to enhancing outcomes,” she remarked. “I am excited to join a team focused on establishing partnerships that can advance cancer research and improve patient care.”

Nina's entry into the Exigent Research Network is expected to enhance its ability to provide accessible clinical research opportunities for independent oncology practices. In her capacity as Senior VP of Growth, she will spearhead efforts to strengthen existing partnerships while forging new alliances that align with Exigent's mission to bring cutting-edge trials closer to patients' local communities.

The Exigent Research Network was born from a collaboration between the Quality Cancer Care Alliance (QCCA) and the National Cancer Care Alliance (NCCA). The organization’s approach aims to democratize access to clinical cancer research from the point of patient care. This model helps patients connect with the best and most innovative trials within their communities while furthering collective oncology knowledge across an extensive network of practices.

As Exigent Research Network embarks on this next chapter with Nina Chavez at the helm of growth initiatives, the future looks hopeful for independent oncology practices seeking to advance their research capabilities. With a shared vision for enhancing community-focused cancer care, Nina is well-positioned to lead Exigent in its mission of impacting patient outcomes positively.
