Our Executive Director, Dr. William Regine, was named a Top Doctor by Baltimore magazine in 2021! He became a radiation oncologist because he wanted to care for patients fighting cancer.

Dr. Regine recently received a fellow designation for his extensive involvement in radiation oncology research, education, patient care, and community outreach from the American Society for Radiation Oncology.

Fun fact about Dr. Regine: he enjoys the great outdoors and loves to dance!
