Services
The Center For Cancer Care is dedicated to treating cancer patients
utilizing the latest medical technology in an environment where
service, comfort and compassion are all priorities. Our goal is
to meet the needs of each and every one of our patients.
The Center For Cancer Care is fully equipped to provide both chemotherapy
and radiation therapy, two of the most commonly used methods to
fight malignancies. We utilize state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary
treatment techniques to deliver high-quality care. Our AcQsim CT
scan simulator and IMRT linear accelerator allow our staff to plan
radiation treatments in three-dimensional space, thus sparing more
normal tissue from being irradiated and minimizing side effects
from the treatments. Also, by decreasing side effects, the physicians
are able to safely increase the dose of radiation and thus increase
the cure rate.
The cornerstone of The Center For Cancer Care is our staff. All
employees have been selected because of their commitment to caring
for and serving the patient. Experienced oncology nurses oversee
patient care while skilled radiation technologists assist patients
during treatment. Our oncology counselor helps patients and their
families with the emotional issues that come with the diagnosis
and treatment of cancer. Our business office staff helps patients
with insurance and other financial concerns. Funds are available
through the Jeanne Shepherd Foundation and the American Cancer Society's
Transportation Grant to assist those with financial need. Every
effort has been made to surround our patients with a compassionate
and supportive staff.
In order to alleviate some of the fear and stress of cancer treatment,
we designed our offices for warmth and comfort. Our rooms are spacious,
with the look and feel of home, not a traditional medical facility.
