Cancer Care
We know our patients are more than the sum of their symptoms. We believe that true healing occurs when both the physical and emotional well-being of each and every patient is restored. At Lakewood Health System, we provide a continuum of care that extends to every stage of cancer care, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment and counseling.
Treating cancer to enhance living is what our team focus is all about. Dr. Weitz has been our physician provider of oncology services since 1991. We have dedicated pharmacy staff that work with the team to provide safe and efficient chemotherapy infusions. Our specially trained Registered Nurses provide safe and caring administration of chemotherapy drugs. Chemotherapy drugs are given to kill or arrest the growth of cancer cells.
Cancer is something you don’t want! Cancer is something you don’t have control over. BUT…when cancer happens to you, you DO have control over deciding what you are going to do. At Lakewood Health System we are committed to helping you make the tough decisions about living with cancer. Once the decisions are made, we will walk with you on the journey to living with cancer.
The types of cancers that we treat are numerous…so are the patients and their life stories. We treat the whole person along with their family. You are not just a number to us. If you have any questions or are not sure if the Lakewood Health System cancer treatment program is right for you, give us a call to visit with us about your individual needs.
