About Me

In December 2013, Ruth Diamond joined City of Hope Chicago as a Nurse Practitioner. She is dedicated to providing patient-centered care. "I believe in providing education, support and treatment options for my patients and their families,” says Diamond.

She works closely with a team of dedicated doctors and clinicians to provide care for patients in the return clinic at City of Hope, where she assesses patients and their symptoms to determine whether they are able to receive chemotherapy during their visit. She also prescribes chemotherapy and helps patients anticipate treatment-related side effects. Through symptom management, Diamond helps patients live their lives as fully as possible during cancer treatment.

Diamond completed her Bachelor of Science in nursing from Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Illinois. She earned her Master of Science in nursing from Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois.

Diamond continued her education, earning certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. She is also an Oncology Certified Nurse. Diamond is certified in advanced cardiac life support, pediatric advanced life support and basic life support. She has previously worked in various health care facilities and hospitals.

In her spare time, Diamond enjoys being with her family and her dog, Winston. She has three adult children and enjoys reading, watching movies, gardening and walking. Diamond travels yearly to her hometown in England to visit her family.

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.
