Volume 02 | December 2020
Dear Provider,
Can you believe it is already December? This year has been quite a journey. Treating and caring for cancer patients during a pandemic has been more than challenging. We are
here to help you provide the care your patients need. We are available to help your patients who have the following needs:
- Who needs to be seen quickly (*some cases within 1-2 days)
- Who needs a flu shot
- Who has a blood disorder
- Who wants a second opinion
- Who is looking for ways to manage their treatment pain
- Who is looking for an integrative approach to their care
- Who is looking for wellness recommendations for their survivorship
Our infusion bay is spacious and COVID-19 compliant. We currently offer social work support, chemotherapy education, nutritional guidance; we have an onsite pharmacy, and
virtual care services.
Salish Cancer Center provides evidence-based and personalized cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies.
Respectfully,
Salish Cancer Center Leadership
