Zdenka Ena Segota, M.D., is a board-certified hematologist oncologist with the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute, part of Baptist Health, at Boca Raton Regional Hospital. Her clinical interests include breast cancer and hematologic malignancies such as lymphoma and myeloma. Dr. Segota has extensive research experience, putting her at the forefront of innovations in cancer care. During her career, she has served as principal investigator or sub-investigator on numerous clinical trials that have resulted in the development of many new oncology medications. These studies aim to improve patients’ pre-surgical and post-surgical outcomes as well as metastatic cancer survival rates. Dr. Segota earned her medical degree at the University of Zagreb, School of Medicine in Croatia. She completed an internal medicine internship and residency at Cleveland Clinic Health System, Huron Hospital. Her extensive training also includes a hematology and medical oncology fellowship and experimental therapeutics research fellowship at Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center, Taussig Cancer Institute. Dr. Segota enjoys connecting and interacting with her patients and believes that every person deserves to receive an individual approach to cancer care. She offers patients precision medicine through genomic testing. This type of testing identifies disease-associated variants to help match patients to more personalized therapies or assess a patient’s disease risk and help target more effective therapies. Dr. Segota speaks English and Croatian. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, gardening, renovating houses and spending time with her family.

Louise Morrell, M.D., is a medical oncologist and the medical director of Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, part of Baptist Health. Dr. Morrell began her career specializing in breast cancer treatment and has spent the last 25 years focusing on cancer genetics and hereditary cancer syndromes. She conducts genetic research, cancer genetic risk assessments and genetic testing. Through her work at the Morgan Pressel Center for Cancer Genetics, Dr. Morrell and her team test hundreds of cancer genes and provide guidance for what a negative test or positive test may mean for a patient and their immediate and extended family. Genetic testing can lead to prevention and individualized screening as well as to identify more personalized treatment options. Genetic information can also be lifesaving for family members, even for future generations. Dr. Morrell joined the Eugene M. & Christine E. Lynn Cancer Institute in 1995 as clinical director of breast cancer services at the Center for Breast Care. In this role, she helped establish and champion the multimodality care model for breast and other cancers. This model allows patients to meet with multiple specialists in their specific cancer type in a single visit. Ultimately, this team approach leads to more coordinated care and better outcomes for the patient. As chairperson of clinical research at Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Dr. Morrell spearheads research initiatives at the hospital and in collaboration with the Charles E. Schmitt School of Medicine at Florida Atlantic University. She also presents at numerous community-based education events and physician continuing medical education conferences. When she is not seeing patients and conducting research, Dr. Morrell enjoys spending time with her family, cooking and enjoying outdoor activities.
