At West Cancer Center & Research Institute, you are surrounded by experts who care about your whole journey — body, mind, and spirit. Survivorship begins the moment you’re diagnosed, and we’re here to help you feel supported every step of the way.
What is Survivorship Care?
Survivorship is the phase of care that focuses on helping you stay healthy, feel heard, and adjust to your “new normal” after treatment. Your Survivorship team includes specialists who work closely with your Oncologist to understand your history, your needs, and your goals.
