North Oaks Hematology/Oncology Clinic welcomes Physician Assistant Madison Anderson

Physician Assistant Madison Anderson, PA-C, has joined North Oaks Hematology/Oncology.

Anderson will work with triple board-certified Dr. Georges Tanios of North Oaks Hematology & Oncology Clinic. Dr. Tanios is committed to the compassionate diagnosis and care of cancer patients.

Anderson earned a master’s degree in physician assistant studies from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University, Baton Rouge, LA, after graduating from Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, LA, with a Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Exercise Science.

She is certified in Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support and Basic Life Support.

As a young child, Madison knew she wanted to help people who were affected by cancer after watching her grandmother suffer with colon cancer and eventually pass.

“I always knew I wanted to make a difference in someone’s life affected by cancer and belonging to a team that ensures all patients receive comprehensive care,” states Anderson. “I chose to practice at North Oaks because I wanted to work with an organization that treated patients like family.”

Physician assistants are nationally certified, state-licensed medical professionals who practice on medical teams under the supervision of a physician. They are qualified to assist in surgeries and procedures, take medical histories, conduct physical exams, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, develop treatment plans, offer preventive care counseling, write prescriptions, and make rounds on hospitalized patients.

North Oaks Hematology & Oncology Clinic is a North Oaks Medical Center department located in the North Oaks Diagnostic Center on the North Oaks Medical Center campus in Hammond. Its operating hours are 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays.
