CANCER CARE ADVOCATES
EMPOWERING PATIENTS
EVERY PATIENT NEEDS AN ADVOCATE
From the minute you learn that you have cancer, your world is turned upside down. You have so many questions. Am I seeing the right doctors? Am I getting all of the information that I need to make decisions regarding my care? Are my doctors and nurses working together to provide the best care possible?
We have answers. Our team of experienced oncologic doctors and nurses is here for you. We have the expertise necessary to guide you and your family through the entire process - from diagnosis to treatment to remission. No one should have to navigate a cancer diagnosis alone. We are the advocate every patient needs.

WHAT WE DO
We provide objective expert advice and support to patients diagnosed with cancer. We take the time to answer every question and have only your interests in mind. Our services begin with an initial meeting with an oncology nurse. Your nurse will learn about you, your diagnosis and your specific needs. Based on that meeting, she will put together a custom plan for us to provide the services that are right for you. The second step will be a comprehensive physician review of your diagnosis, imaging and treatment. The third step will be an in-home consultation with the oncology nurse and the physicians that have reviewed your case. You are welcome to invite your family to hear the information and ask questions.
WHY ADVOCATES ARE NECESSARY
Our country’s healthcare system simply is not equipped to address all of a cancer patient’s needs. Your doctors and nurses likely have hundreds of patients and may not have enough time to give you the attention that you need. We provide the vital services that the healthcare system cannot. We do not take the place of your health care team. We advise you and empower you to manage your healthcare decisions.
