Raina Crowder, RN

Raina Crowder is a dedicated registered nurse with 36 years of experience providing compassionate, patient-centered care across oncology, hospice, medical-surgical, and critical care settings. Based in Cliffside, she began her nursing career after earning her Associate Degree in Nursing from Gardner-Webb University in 1990. Throughout her career, Raina has remained deeply committed to bedside nursing, building meaningful relationships with patients and families while advocating tirelessly for their needs.

Much of Raina’s career has centered around oncology care, a specialty that has become both a professional passion and a personal mission. She worked in the chemotherapy unit at Rutherford Internal Medicine and later renewed her chemotherapy certification to continue serving cancer patients at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, where she has administered chemotherapy treatments for the past six years. In addition to her oncology work, she has spent more than a decade in hospice care as a case manager with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, helping patients and families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments with compassion and dignity.

As a breast cancer survivor herself, Raina brings a unique level of empathy and understanding to the patients she serves. Her own experience with treatment in 2014 strengthened her commitment to advocacy and reinforced her belief that every patient deserves access to quality care, emotional support, and essential resources. Known for going above and beyond to help patients obtain medications, food, clothing, and other necessities, Raina is respected for her determination, compassion, and unwavering dedication to improving the lives of those facing cancer and serious illness.
