About Me

"My heart lies with cancer care," says Jordan Waypa, Research Nurse Practitioner with City of Hope Phoenix. "And with a focus on research, I have the chance to bring new treatments to our patients."

Waypa studied nursing at Grand Canyon University, completing her Bachelor of Science in 2009. She specialized in cancer from the start of her career as a Staff Nurse with a large hospital in Phoenix. Working in acute oncology, she provided care to patients undergoing chemotherapy and surgery, remaining in close contact with families throughout the treatment process. She also served as a liaison among physicians and as a patient advocate.

In 2014, Waypa completed an Advanced Practice Nurse degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner through Frontier Nursing University, graduating among the top in her class. Wishing to expand her skills, she joined an urgent care facility as Family Nurse Practitioner, providing comprehensive care to adults and children.

Waypa joined City of Hope in July 2015, returning to cancer care and focusing on the research of new approaches in cancer treatment. "We have an ever-expanding array of new options," says Waypa, "and we are focused on providing the optimal care for our patients."

When she is not at City of Hope, Waypa loves being outdoors, hiking and camping with her husband and their dog.

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.
