Biography

Dr. Levoy is an Assistant Professor at the Indiana University (IU) School of Nursing with a dual appointment as a Research Scientist at the IU Center for Aging Research at Regenstrief Institute. Dr. Levoy is an Associate Member of the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program at IU Melvin and Bren Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center. She is a registered nurse with certifications in oncology nursing and nursing education. Dr. Levoy’s research interest is in improving patient and caregiver preparation for the end-of-life, an interest which arose from over a decade of experience working with patients and families affected by cancer. Her program of research specifically focuses on understanding the mechanisms through which patient and caregiver preparation for the end-of-life can be optimized across the cancer illness trajectory as a means of improving end-of-life decision making outcomes, patient outcomes at the end-of-life, and caregiver outcomes during bereavement. Thus, her program of research addresses issues at the intersection of palliative care, cancer care, and caregiving. Dr. Levoy’s research has been previously supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Future of Nursing Scholars Program, the American Cancer Society’s Doctoral Degree Scholarship in Cancer Nursing, and a National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award program.
