Louanne Currence

Louanne Currence, RHIT, CTR, has worked in healthcare more than 30 years and been a hospital-based registrar for over fifteen years. Several years ago, the Missouri Cancer Registry recognized her skills as a trainer and she became the Education Coordinator for the statewide registry.

In addition, she is a popular speaker among registry professionals in many states. Her sense of humor and depth of registry knowledge keep her in demand for presentations to beginner and experienced groups on a wide variety of topics. She is active in regional and state professional associations and the National Cancer Registrars Association. Louanne believes the greatest attribute of a good registrar is curiosity and she enjoys learning about new things so she can share with others.
