Multidisciplinary Care
Every patient benefits from a team of experts.
A Full Team of Experts in Your Corner
You will appreciate the convenience of receiving all of your services under one roof at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute, but the advantages to our multidisciplinary approach go much deeper.
Studies show that patients who receive their cancer screening, prevention, treatment and palliative-care services in a setting of multispecialty care tend to live longer and have a better quality of life. And because our model of care is based on multidisciplinary centers, every patient benefits from a team of experts who are focused on his or her individual care.
What is a Multidisciplinary Center, and How Does It Benefit Me?
