Specialty Centers of Excellence
Our
doctors work closely with nurses, physicists, therapists, social workers and
other expert support staff to provide the best possible patient experience and
outcome. This progressive multidisciplinary approach has resulted in leading-edge,
responsive and compassionate cancer care.
Each Specialty Center of Excellence focuses on a specific cancer site and
leverage a team strategy to deliver care. This approach avoids delays and inconvenience
for patients while providing individualized attention.
Multidisciplinary Care
A team approach provides a fast-track to comprehensive care. Patients are
seen by a variety of specialists in one day, instead of waiting for individually
scheduled appointments that can take weeks.
