Corey Kusler, RT(R)(T)

Chief Radiation Therapist

Born and raised in Ellendale, North Dakota, Corey recognized his desire for a medical career in high school and attended the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota where he received his Certification in Radiation Therapy with the American Registry of Radiologic Technology.

Corey joined the Community Cancer Center team in 2009, coming to Oregon from Montana, where he held positions as Staff, Lead, and Senior Therapist.  Today Corey is the Chief Therapist at the Community Cancer Center.

Corey was born and raised in Ellendale, North Dakota which is located in the heart of pheasant country near the South Dakota border. While growing up, Corey and his siblings enjoyed hunting, fishing and all the benefits of living in a small rural community. His first job was flipping burgers at the local Drive-In, working for his track coach. But it was his senior year of high school that began to mold his path into the medical profession.

As Corey reflected on his education, he realized it was his high school principal that was the most influential person in his career. The influence came when his principal encouraged him to take a Nursing Assistant class his senior year.

Corey graduated from Ellendale High School where he excelled in Track & Field. As an Ellendale Cardinal, Corey declined opportunities to attend college as a collegiate level athlete. Corey realized he was going to pursue a career in the medical field and chose to attend the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota where he received his Certification in Radiation Therapy with the American Registry of Radiologic Technology in 1993.

In 2009 Corey moved to Oregon along with his wife and two children. Although it was medical careers that brought his family to Oregon, they fully enjoy what Douglas County has to offer for recreation. Between the ocean beaches, waterfall hikes and milder climate, it was hard for Corey to decide what he likes best. During his down time Corey likes to relax and unwind by keeping busy with different projects in his shop. Currently he is restoring a classic car and enjoys perfecting the restoration details on his own.
