For Sarah Moony, Physician Assistant at City of Hope^® Cancer Center Chicago, listening is a key part of what she does. “Open, respectful and caring communication is key to the relationship between patients and providers,” she says.

Moony began her career as a dietitian, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Food and Nutrition at Southern Illinois University – Carbondale.

She served as a Nutrition Support Dietitian at City of Hope from 2010 to 2013.

Her desire to learn more for her patients led her back to school. She completed her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Practice at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. Her clinical rotations covered a wide spectrum of care, including internal medicine, general surgery, women’s health and emergency medicine, among other areas. Moony became a Physician Assistant at City of Hope in July 2015.
