As the director of clinical services for the WVU Cancer Institute’s Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center, Hazard-Jenkins helped manage clinical affairs and programmatic development, as well as the institute’s statewide network of cancer care. She also serves as the director of the institute’s Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program and as chief of staff at WVU Medicine J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital.
