How We Fight Cancer

Together, We’re Unlike Anyone Else in St. Joseph County.

When diagnosed with cancer, it’s natural to become focused on your physical well-being — the treatments, side effects, doctor visits and tests. But cancer extends into all the important areas of your life — your daily activities, family, work, self-image and plans for the future. At Cancer Care Partners, we don’t just treat the cancer, we heal the whole person — emotionally, spiritually and physically.

In fact, Cancer Care Partners is the only cancer center in St. Joseph County to offer an entire team of multidisciplinary specialists who work collaboratively in one place to develop the best treatment plan for you, and enhance your quality of care.

Through this unique approach, you don’t have just one doctor; you have an entire team of different specialists standing shoulder to shoulder with you, every step of the way. These experts include medical, surgical, radiation and naturopathic oncologists, as well as dietitians, counselors, urologists, gastroenterologists and otolaryngologists. They work together, sharing knowledge and different points of view, to develop a treatment plan based on your individual needs. Then, during the course of treatment, they meet regularly to review your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your plan to make it as effective and efficient as possible. During recovery, we continue working with you to rehabilitate your body, address any emotional concerns you may have and teach you how to go about your life as a cancer survivor.

In this model of care, you benefit from the latest innovations in cancer-fighting technology from a wide range of disciplines, much of which is found nowhere else in the region. Plus, our specialists can take the time to understand your specific needs, concerns and hopes, including you and your family members in the treatment decision process.
