About Me

Cynthia Ingram joined City of Hope Chicago, in 2004 as a registered nurse case manager. She is responsible for assessing the sexual health needs of patients at City of Hope Chicago and for promoting a quality sexual wellness program and services for patients and caregivers.

“Intimacy and sexuality are an important part of our own identity as an individual and as a couple,” she says. “The need for connection, touch, caring and pleasure are central to the human experience.”

Ingram helps to integrate sexual health expertise into patients’ cancer care teams and develops opportunities to expand sexual health services into other areas of cancer care and community services.

Ingram holds a Bachelor of Science degree in health arts from the College of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois. Ingram is a chapter leader for the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA) in Northeast Illinois and Southeastern Wisconsin and a member of the American Association of Occupation Health Nurses (AAOHN).

Prior to her current position, Ingram led the Animal-Assisted Therapy program at City of Hope Chicago.

In her downtime, Ingram enjoys exploring the outdoors, cooking, gardening, biking and training for and participating in sprint triathlons, which she has done for the past several years.

Patient reviews
The patient ratings and comments on this page are obtained from an external Press Ganey® outpatient survey provided to all eligible City of Hope patients within one to two weeks of their treatment occurrence. Raw data from the answers to the survey questions about our physicians are calculated by Press Ganey into a one- to five- star rating. In the spirit of transparency, all patient comments are posted as written by the patient, whether they are positive or negative. We only exclude comments if they are deemed to be slanderous or libelous, contain profanity or vulgar language, or do not relate to the patient's experience with the doctor involved. As a result, the comments are the views and opinions of the patients surveyed and are not endorsed by, and may not necessarily reflect the opinion of, City of Hope.
