When I became Director of Informatics, I was appalled by the staggering costs of treatments that frequently failed to extend or enhance life.

”The modern health care system is so complex that it’s almost impossible for the average person to navigate all the decisions required to successfully deal with a cancer diagnosis. Ardynn is the perfect solution to help anyone navigate through those complexities and make the right choices consistent with their goals and values. Some of us are lucky enough to have a friend or family member “inside” the healthcare system who can help us navigate. Now EVERYONE has that friend or family member with Ardynn!”

Dana Hutson

Dana Hutson

Lead Advocate

”After experiencing the dysfunction of the healthcare system first hand while navigating my Father’s cancer diagnosis it became clear that people need help. No one should go through a cancer diagnosis without the guidance of a subject matter expert.”

Dana brings a wealth of oncology experience with a 24-year career in oncology biopharmaceutical sales and private advocacy, as well as personal experience navigating a loved one’s cancer.

In 2015, Dana’s father was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the disease. As she supported her family during this difficult time, she kept wondering “how do people without knowledge of the medical maze manage all of this?” She realized people with cancer needed a person they could trust to both advise and help them through their cancer journey.

Motivated by this realization, Dana earned her credentials as a Patient Advocacy Board (PACB) certified advocate. With her warm personality and vast experience, she has assisted numerous Ardynn members.
