Together, we develop a personalized care plan based on your needs, preferences and input. We want you to feel comfortable and confident during your treatment journey. Remember, there may not be just one option. It is our mission to help guide you through this.
The cancer journey can be challenging and overwhelming, and we are here to provide support, services and treatment for you and your family.
Our Cancer Care Services
Our team of cancer specialists are dedicated to your care. We provide support and resources beyond just cancer treatments, helping to guide and assist you and your family throughout your cancer journey:
Symptom Support Clinic
Our goal is to provide our cancer patients with convenient care when they start having symptoms related to cancer treatment. We are a collaborative clinic where you will be evaluated over the phone by our triage nurse. Depending on your severity, our nurses will make you an appointment with one of our advanced practice clinicians (APCs). Our APCs have years of experience in oncology, hematology, and the treatment of chemotherapy symptoms. They will collaborate very closely with your doctor.
We typically provide same-day appointments and help you avoid the emergency department in most cases. You can arrange an appointment by calling our Symptom Support hotline at (406) 752-8672. These appointments are available Monday thru Friday for cancer patients who are currently on treatment, and who experience acute or severe symptoms. Telemedicine visits are available.
