COOKEVILLE – Every year the Tennessee Cancer Coalition (TC2) comes together for the TC2 Summit and an award is presented to an outstanding volunteer in each of the seven regions. This year Cookeville Regional Medical Center’s Cancer Center director, Lisa Bagci, received the award for the Upper Cumberland region.

“Lisa is extremely dedicated to helping those who are battling cancer or in remission. More than anything, she has a passion to see that every patient is loved, treated like family and has support when they walk through the doors of the Cancer Center. We congratulate her in achieving this award,” said Stephanie Miller, Vice President of Ancillary Services at Cookeville Regional.

This award is presented for outstanding volunteer spirit in the fight against cancer in the Upper Cumberland and for supporting efforts of the Tennessee Cancer Coalition.

The Tennessee Cancer Coalition has members from West Tennessee, Jackson, Middle Tennessee, Southeast Tennessee, East Tennessee, Northeast Tennessee and the Upper Cumberland region.

The Cancer Center at Cookeville Regional has achieved the Commission on Cancer’s Outstanding Achievement Award from the American College of Surgeons.
