Unique, Comprehensive Approach
At diagnosis, patients come in for one visit to see physicians and specialists from multiple disciplines, which may include surgical oncology, medical oncology, diagnostic imaging, pulmonary and critical care medicine, radiation oncology, palliative care, social work, psychiatry, nutrition, nursing, and complementary therapies such as acupuncture and massage therapy.
After this initial visit, our team meets with the patient to present a recommended plan of care. Patients also benefit from the services of a skilled nurse practitioner and an experienced, compassionate nurse navigator who assist patients and families with all aspects of their diagnosis and treatment.
Nationally Certified and Accredited
Our program is certified by the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Quality Oncology Practice Initiative and accredited by the American College of Surgeon's Commission on Cancer.
Clinical Trials for Thoracic Malignancies
Research is currently being conducted to learn more about thoracic malignancies.
Rick Devin's Story
Rick creates what he calls “devinicals,” small, one-of-a-kind fabric sculptures, portraying animals as different roles or characters, complete with clothing, accessories, and props. He also creates paintings and multimedia projects, often using found objects.
It is precisely this unique ability to see art in the objects – and animals – around us, and to find the humor in the realism of life that helped Rick through his fight against cancer.
