Cancer Center
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, we realize this can be an emotional time as you anticipate the challenges that may lie ahead. Peace of mind can come from knowing there is a team right here that is caring, capable, highly skilled and ready to care for you – in mind, body and spirit.
Our patients are offered a full range of advanced medical treatments, along with free support services and educational programs to enhance overall well-being and health. By meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of each patient, a more focused and comfortable journey through cancer treatment is created.
Our cancer survival rates have consistently been equal or superior to national registry data. Our program is approved by the Commission on Cancer, which is only given to facilities that have voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and undergo rigorous evaluation and performance reviews.
Our team of experts understands the confusion and fear that can surround a diagnosis of cancer. They’re here to help you along your journey to become as healthy as you can be, very soon.
New Cancer Center Coming December 2012
At PeaceHealth St. Joseph, we're committed to giving the very best cancer care available. The excellent services currently provided at different PeaceHealth locations will be brought together under one roof this December. This will allow patients to see their cancer specialists and receive treatments at a single facility.
Creating a place of healing and hope is more than building a state-of-the-art Cancer Center; it means finding the right person to lead. We are pleased to welcome Jennie Crews, MD, to our award-winning team as the PeaceHealth St. Joseph Cancer Center Medical Director.
Cancer Transitions Program Seeking Participants
The Cancer Center is looking for patients who have completed treatment to participate in the Cancer Transitions program. This is a free program, funded by a grant from the Livestrong Foundation. Sessions focus on education and support for exercise, nutrition, emotional health and well-being, and are designed to empower patients after cancer treatment is complete.
