Services

The Tate Cancer Center's multidisciplinary approach to cancer care combines medical, radiation and surgical oncology care to achieve an optimal personalized treatment plan. Our team of physicians and specialized nurses are dedicated to providing unparalleled service to our patients. For new patients starting therapy, our oncology certified nurses provide education and help get them acquainted and comfortable and are aware of each patient's individual needs. Patients spend a large amount of their treatment time with the nursing staff, so we know that receiving therapy in a pleasant environment with caring, compassionate health professionals is key to navigating the treatment journey. Chemotherapy is administered in special suites with reclining chairs, blankets and televisions to make treatment as comfortable as possible for patients and their families.
