Cancer doesn’t discriminate, but access to great colon cancer care hasn’t always been the same for everyone. At Providence, we are deeply committed to making sure every patient we treat has access to the best cancer care. We offer various location-specific services to help our patients receive equitable care, such as translation for non-English-speaking patients, telehealth and transportation assistance. We value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, spiritual, gender and sexual identities of each member of our diverse communities, and we welcome all patients, regardless of their ability to pay. We aim to make sure every patient is treated equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you're at.

As a patient at Providence, you have access to the largest community-based cancer network in the United States. Being part of a collaborative network means that your local colon cancer care team shares knowledge and experience with other world-class clinicians across 51 hospitals in seven states. The extent and power of our network is one of the reasons more than 2,600 new colon cancer patients, and over 4,200 new colorectal cancer patients, choose Providence each year. 

Providence is well known for offering options – and hope – to patients seeking the most advanced procedures and therapies to treat colon cancer. Providence researchers have led the development of immunotherapy for cancer, including T-cell therapy for patients with colorectal cancer. They are also researching novel treatment approaches that may limit or eliminate the need for surgery in the future. As a patient, you have the opportunity to participate in one of the many clinical trials for colon cancer treatment happening across the Providence network.
