Jennifer Pichoske, MS, EMBA, AOCNP

I remember visiting my grandmother in the hospital as a child and being fascinated by everything involved in her care. I wasn’t afraid of the hospital; I liked it. So, it’s no surprise that I found my calling in nursing and have dedicated my life to improving cancer care.

My career began in Buffalo, where I worked as a cancer-care hospital nurse and later as a hematology/oncology nurse practitioner. Originally from Western New York, I’ve called Central New York home since 2001, when I began my journey with Hematology-Oncology Associates of CNY (HOA). Aside from a few years spent as a faculty member at the Crouse Hospital College of Nursing, I’ve remained with HOA in various roles—Director of Nursing, Chief Clinical Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and now Chief Executive Officer.

With nearly 30 years of experience in oncology and hematology care, I strive as HOA’s CEO to foster a culture of respect, integrity, and state-of-the-art, patient-centered care. It’s a privilege to lead this organization and the incredible team that makes our work possible.

Community and compassion are at the heart of everything I do, both personally and professionally. In addition to my role at HOA, I actively volunteer through local and national board service, including: Hospice of CNY and the Finger Lakes, Breast Care Partners, LLC, Cancer Connects, Inc., the Community Oncology Alliance, and previously, Helping Hounds Dog Rescue. I’m also a member of the Oncology Nursing Society and the Medical Group Management Association.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to two sons who are busy student-athletes. Our home includes two rescue dogs and a cat. I enjoy the outdoors, cooking, yoga, and spending time with my family.
