During her long career with the institution, Dr. Ecung had an impact on the organization of nursing care and the transformation of the role of nurses in partnering with physicians in patient care. She contributed to the evolution of multidisciplinary care at MD Anderson, and participated in organizing the institution’s formal shift to the multidisciplinary care model.
