About Me

It was while raising her children that Sandra Beta realized how much she loved caring for others. “I decided to go to school, just like them,” says Beta, “and become a nurse.” Today, she brings nearly 20 years of experience to her role as Nurse Practitioner in Pain Management at City of Hope Chicago.

After earning her associate’s degree in Nursing at the College of Lake County and serving as a Patient Care Technician, Beta joined City of Hope as a Registered Nurse. She spent more than a decade as a Medical-Surgical Oncology Nurse, caring for several patients undergoing chemotherapy and other intravenous infusions.

During this time, she completed bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing at Olivet Nazarene University. With this additional training, she became Inpatient Manager, supervising the medical and surgical nursing staff. Later, she transitioned to Nurse Educator. After becoming a certified family nurse practitioner through Concordia University, she moved to her current role as Nurse Practitioner in Pain Management. She is also a clinical instructor at Chamberlain College of Nursing.

At City of Hope, Beta educates nurses on processes and practices for quality pain management. She also provides care for patients, which she considers “the most rewarding aspect of my job.” She says she hopes to integrate more insights about holistic practices that may assist patients during their treatment and recovery.

Beta is highly credentialed, with certifications in numerous areas of nursing. In addition to Family Nurse Practitioner, she is a certified Oncology Nurse through the Oncology Nursing Society Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation and a board-certified Holistic Nurse through American Nurses Holistic Credentialing Corporation. She is a member of the Oncology Nursing Society, the American Holistic Nursing Association, the American Nurses Association and the Illinois Nurses Association. She has been inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau honors nursing society.

When she is not at City of Hope, Beta enjoys spending time with her husband, their grown children and extensive family, which includes 17 grandchildren. She enjoys being outdoors in all seasons.

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.
