Overview of Dr. Morrell

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.
