How We're Different

At Cancer Care Partners, we don’t operate like other cancer facilities. We’ve sought out the best ideas and techniques in cancer care and brought them together here, under one roof, so that we can deliver the best cancer treatment to the patients of St. Joseph County. Here are some of the things that set us apart from other approaches:

You are the most important member of the team.

Your care team will include you in every step of the planning process. We will educate you about the potential outcomes and risks of all of your options, and use our expertise and experience to provide strong guidance throughout the decision-making process to help you make the best choices. Your questions are always welcome and our explanations will always be clear and in a language you can understand. Every decision is ultimately yours.

You don’t have a single doctor; you have an entire care team.

At Cancer Care Partners, every patient has a team of doctors, nurses, therapists, medical technicians, counselors and other support staff, who work together, sharing ideas and expertise to determine the best course of action. Throughout treatment, a care team meets regularly to review the treatment process and make any adjustments needed.

We have world-class doctors, nurses and staff.

All the oncologists at Cancer Care Partners are highly accomplished and specialize in either medical, surgical or radiation oncology. Plus, our team of experts includes naturopathic oncologists, radiologists, general surgeons, urologists and gastroenterologists, as well as other specialists, to offer you the most complete care available. These doctors work alongside the region’s best oncology nurses, dietitians, counselors, therapists and support staff who are all dedicated to working together to provide you the support you need to fight cancer.

We have the most advanced treatment available.

At Cancer Care Partners we strive to stay at the leading edge of cancer treatment, even developing our own treatment protocols combining therapies from several different disciplines. In addition, we continuously seek out the latest advancements in cancer technology, utilize the most advanced cancer-fighting equipment available and participate in numerous clinical trials and research studies to offer you the highest quality of care possible.

We integrate medical, complementary and supportive services.

In addition to having highly qualified cancer specialists and the latest equipment, we have a host of complementary medicine and support service practitioners on our care teams. Naturopathic medicine can be an effective way to help you strengthen your body against cancer and its treatment. We have an entire staff of highly trained specialists to help you integrate botanical and natural therapies, as well as proper nutrition, into your treatment program. In addition, we continue working with you during recovery to help rehabilitate your body, manage any residual pain, discuss emotional and spiritual concerns and teach you how to go about your life as a cancer survivor.
