Robin Thomas Sparks, MPH, Executive Director and Certified Cancer Patient Navigator

Welcome! I'm Robin Thomas Sparks, MPH, Founder and Executive Director of The C-Suite, where I serve as a Certified Cancer Patient Navigator dedicated to helping individuals and families navigate every stage of the cancer journey.

The mission of The C-Suite is to bridge the barriers people face when accessing cancer care—from promoting healthy lifestyles and preventive screenings to supporting patients through diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and beyond. I believe that every person deserves equitable access to quality cancer care, trusted guidance, and compassionate support, regardless of where they begin their journey.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. I am a four-year Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma survivor who prefers the term "thriver" because cancer has strengthened my commitment to serving others. During my own treatment, I experienced firsthand the challenges that many patients face, including barriers to timely care, navigating complex healthcare systems, and finding the resources needed to make informed decisions. Even today, as I continue in surveillance, I understand that the cancer journey doesn't end when treatment does.

Those experiences inspired me to create The C-Suite—a place where patients, survivors, caregivers, and families can find education, advocacy, resources, and personalized navigation to help them move forward with confidence. My goal is to ensure that no one has to face cancer feeling overwhelmed or alone.

In addition to leading The C-Suite, I hold a Master of Public Health and am currently pursuing a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) with an emphasis in Community Health. My doctoral studies are strengthening my ability to address health disparities, improve access to care, and develop community-centered solutions that advance health equity for individuals affected by cancer.

Whether you're seeking access to screening, guidance after a new diagnosis, looking for survivorship resources, or searching for someone who truly understands the challenges of the cancer journey, I am honored to walk alongside you. 

Together, we can help transform barriers into pathways toward hope, healing, and empowerment.
