A Team Approach
Our Cancer Center’s multidisciplinary approach to care and research allows all of our staff to play an active role in providing the best possible treatment for you today, and in the future.
The Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center's oncologists, radiation oncologists, nurses and support staff meet to discuss every patient’s disease and treatment strategy. Their insights give each person the opportunity for a cure. 100% of our clinical nurses are board certified in oncology.
