Elizabeth Castro

I am so excited to be part of the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology team at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. I joined here in 2019 after working 23 years at Hackensack University Medical Center in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Pediatric Emergency Department. Working with children and their families is a true passion for me. Providing the highest level of care has always been my priority.

I love the multidisciplinary approach of our team at Rutgers Cancer Institute, it is very patient and family focused. My role is primarily with the benign hematology population, with a focus on Sickle Cell Disease. It is an exciting time for Sickle Cell research, and I am fortunate to be part of that. It is a privilege to be able to care for these families and work with this team. 

Our Advanced Practice Providers work in collaboration with the physicians in their respective oncology programs and may not always be scheduled directly.
