Camellia Hutchinson, nurse practitioner and survivor
Meet Cammy, our new vice president!
Meet Cammy, our new vice president!
My name is Camellia Hutchinson, and I am honored to step into the role of Vice President of Bluegrass Ovarian Cancer Support.
I am a wife to my husband Jeremy, and a proud mom to our son Owen, who is my greatest motivation and inspiration.
I am a nurse practitioner and am grateful to have the opportunity to serve our veterans at our local VA hospital, where I work in the neurology department. Caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am, both professionally and personally.
In July 2023 ,I was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Becoming a survivor has profoundly shaped my perspective and strengthened my passion for advocacy, connection and support within the ovarian cancer community.
I look forward to serving our BOCS in this new role and am excited for the year ahead as we continue to support, uplift , empower and support one another.
