What to Expect:
In addition to the best treatments and medical technologies available, oncology patients often need and deserve more. Like someone to provide information about nutrition, counseling, and support groups or someone who can connect them with answers to questions regarding tests, treatment options, and payment plans. Our entire cancer care team is empowered to provide the best care possible beginning on Day One. We are here to offer our expertise or simply a smile, a hug, or a compassionate ear.
If you are on oncology patient you will be contacted by the patient navigator prior to your first treatment to set up an initial meeting. At this meeting, your questions will be answered and you will be provided with the opportunity to start the education process about future treatments.
If you are a patient looking for other services in our department an appointment can be made by calling our receptionist at 307-739-6915.
