Heather Ratliff, APRN-CNP

About Me

I am a board-certified nurse practitioner in the transition of care clinic at the OSUCCC – James. My role is focused on ensuring patients have the resources and support they need for a smooth adjustment back to their regular lives after hospital discharge related to their cancer care. This includes meeting with patients virtually within five days of discharge from the hospital. I work with patients with any cancer diagnosis, with an emphasis on those who have undergone surgical procedures.

I chose a career in medicine because I love helping people. My patients can rely on me for honest communication, empathy and compassion in every encounter.
