MARIETTA — Memorial Health System announced that medical oncologist Dr. Kelli Cawley, at the Belpre Cancer Center, has been awarded the Silver Certificate of Excellence from National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program.

NCORP is a national network that brings cancer clinical trials and care delivery studies to people in their communities. The NCORP network designs and conducts clinical trials in the areas of cancer prevention, screening, supportive care and symptom management, surveillance, health-related quality of life and cancer care delivery.

Cawley has been recognized by NCORP officials for her cancer research during the 2023 year and for exceptional achievement in patient enrollments for NCI treatment and cancer control throughout the year.

“Access to clinical trials is an important component of the treatment of cancer for our patients,” said Stacey Wyer, director of oncology for Memorial Health System. “We are so appreciative of the effort demonstrated by Dr. Kelli Cawley, as well as Lori Parker, our clinical research coordinator, for their dedication to improving outcomes of cancer treatment in the Mid-Ohio Valley. Receiving an exceptional achievement of recognition from the National Cancer Institute and Columbus NCORP is a testament to our commitment to advancing cancer research right here at home.”
