Edie White
Education:

Prior to coming to New England Cancer Specialists, Edie worked in home hospice for 15 years. Before that, she worked with adolescent boys in a residential setting, with treatment-level foster families, and at a day shelter for people experiencing homelessness and low-income.
Edie was raised in upstate New York and moved to Maine to be closer to extended family. She found her way to social work through other life experiences and found it to be a true fit for her.
Edie is very curious about people, and how they experience the world, which in turn shapes how they function in life. Her core belief is that we all get to live our lives as we wish, and that there is no “right way” to do this life (or cancer treatment)—just the right way for each individual. She takes the time to get to know the people she works with, so she can help empower them to be their best version of themselves.
Edie is certified by The American Heart Association (CPAHA) in tobacco treatment. If you are ready to come up with a plan to quit smoking, please make an appointment today.
