Work with a team, and for a company, that is as passionate about rewriting those endings as you are.

"What keeps me going each day are my colleagues, especially my histology team. As a manager, I could not ask for a friendlier, more patient-focused team. Every single day, their dedication, creativity, and constant drive for improvement makes me proud that I have the privilege of calling them my team. The environment here at Foundation Medicine is also great. It’s been that way since the beginning—the support that the company gives its employees is unparalleled. It’s the only place I’ve worked that always says, “Do what you need to support your team.”

Ultimately, all of our work has a direct impact on the lives of cancer patients who have had our testing. We get notes from patients saying, “I sent my specimen to Foundation Medicine and now I’m doing well,” and that is such a fantastic feeling. It is so rewarding to know that you are part of something that is transforming lives, as well as cancer care."

In 2014, Corey, a recent college graduate and avid runner, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. In 2019, Corey joined Foundation Medicine as a Patient Services Specialist, based in Colorado. She hopes to continue helping patients through her work, by sharing her inspiring story, and by helping us expand our Patient Network.

"I learned how important it is to be informed and advocate for yourself. When I was first diagnosed, I was desperate for stories. I scoured the internet for any kind of hope. I need and want to do more to help the patient community because I know how helpful it can be for others."

Read more about Corey’s experience below in our recent conversation with her.
