Welcome Blake Herring, MSN, RN, OCN, NE-BC, as administrator of UVA Cancer Center, starting October 3, 2022.

Blake also has extensive expertise and experience in health IT and will bring these important skills with him to UVA. As at Stanford, these skills will prove essential in improving our patient care and clinical operations.
In welcoming Blake, we also acknowledge interim UVA Cancer Center administrator, Adam Momper, for providing strong leadership and ensuring the continuity of our patient services during this time of transition. After Blake’s arrival, Adam will return his full focus to being our Supply Chain Administrator.
UVA Cancer Center is a source of great pride for us all. It is one of only 52 cancer centers in the country to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. We are deeply grateful to all members of the Oncology service line for creating and sustaining a reputation for delivering exceptional care to patients throughout Virginia and beyond.
