Focused Care

Focused Care is a specialized program of treatment tailored to address the disease specific symptoms and needs of patients. Our Focused Care staff includes Advance Practice nurses and Respiratory Therapists. These specialists work closely with the primary physician to closely monitor and quickly address new symptoms, helping patients avoid unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits.

Focused Care provides:

• Close monitoring of side effects related to chemo or radiation therapy, cardiac exacerbations and pulmonary disease management
• Support for families and caregivers through education and evaluation of cardiac, pulmonary and oncology symptom management needs
