TREATMENT
The Oncology Department at Memorial Medical Center offers a comfortable environment for cancer treatment with many helpful services.

COMPLEMENTARY THERAPY
Complementary therapies are offered to help a patient during the process of recovery, healing or coping. Therapies include music, touch, writing, art, movement, fitness programs, and more. Family members and caregivers can also participate.
LIVING WITH CANCER
The emotional needs and proper nutrition of a patient are very important during treatment. Social services, support groups, dietitians and nutrition tips are available to help the quality of life during treatment.
STAYING INFORMED
Find ways to stay informed by checking upcoming classes and events, reading the latest press releases, videos and resources online.
PATIENT NAVIGATION
Memorial Medical Center offers additional patient support through its oncology nurse navigator program. A breast cancer nurse navigator is available to assist survivors by providing education, resources and emotional support to help patients get through their cancer journey. Navigation services add another dimension to MMC’s holistic approach.
