Leading experts, coordinated care

Providence Cancer Center Home to top specialists

Cancer is best fought with the strength and expertise of many. That’s why every one of our patients has a dedicated team of specialists, including: skilled surgeons, nurses and oncologists; visionary researchers; and inspiring counselors and therapists.

They’re the best and the brightest in their respective fields. And they’re all working together, sharing their knowledge and talents for your recovery.

What’s more, the new Providence Cancer Center is fully equipped so that our providers can do the best possible jobs they can, including: state-of-the-art laboratories for researchers; gleaming, pristine operating rooms for surgeons; and the most advanced equipment for technicians.

All for one

Providence takes a whole-patient approach to cancer treatment. Our multidisciplinary teams, more than a dozen strong, meet frequently to discuss individual cases: a counselor provides a surgeon with critical information; a nutritionist works in tandem with an oncologist; a physical therapist consults with prosthesis fitter to enhance recovery.
