Community Hospital’s Grand Valley Oncology is committed to improving our patients and their families’ quality of life right here on the Western Slope. We understand that access to care, comfort and compassion is important in treating cancer. In recognizing this we offer a patient-centered approach that treats the whole patient and not just the disease. We put patients first.
Supportive Oncology & Survivorship Care
Due to the advances in early detection and treatment, cancer survivors are living longer than ever before. That is why Grand Valley Oncology provides comprehensive care in our survivorship clinic.
What is survivorship care?
Grand Valley Oncology understands that survivors will have significant medical and psychological needs following their active oncology treatment. It is our goal to help patients with this transition through our survivorship program.
What should you expect?
As patients begin to transition from active oncology treatment, the provider will refer the patient to the survivorship clinic. At the clinic, the focus will be on:
- Education
- Symptom management
- Wellness
