Hannah Bava, MD

I’m a supportive care physician who sees patients in the outpatient clinic at Memorial Sloan Kettering Center’s Monmouth location in New Jersey.

My goal is to help people living with cancer feel as well as possible throughout their treatment. This includes helping them manage symptoms, supporting their emotional well-being, and helping them navigate complex medical decisions.

Palliative care can be helpful at any stage of cancer and is provided alongside other treatments for cancer. I care for patients experiencing pain, nausea, and other symptoms related to cancer or its treatment. I also help patients and families have conversations about their goals, values, and priorities so that care aligns with what matters most to them.

My research interests include the safe management of pain for people with cancer and cancer survivors. I also enjoy teaching residents and fellows about communication and symptom management.

Outside of work, I love traveling, walking on the boardwalk at a beach, attending baseball games, and spending time with family and friends.
