To help patients navigate the uncertain terrain of cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery while staying close to home, Carroll Hospital Center offers a free cancer care navigator service.
These specialists, who are registered nurses, work with men and women with all types and stages of cancer, guiding you step by step through your cancer journey.
“Many cancer patients initially feel a loss of control over their lives. But knowing what to expect and having someone to talk to helps them regain some of that control and focus on treatment and recovery,” says Sarah Lentz, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S., general surgeon and medical director of The Women’s Place. “From the time a patient is faced with a pending diagnosis, our nurses provide the one-on-one support patients need as they plan a course of treatment with their physician.”
Step 1: Diagnosis
Through our imaging partner, Advanced Radiology, we offer comprehensive diagnostic services onsite including mammograms, ultrasound, PET/CT scans, CT scans, MRI and stereotactic biopsy.
Step 2: Treatment
Our nationally certified cancer program includes an expert team of surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists and oncology nurses providing a full range of advanced therapies and procedures.
Step 3: Support & Recovery
We’re here for patients every step of the way offering support groups and educational programs, a The Boutique at The Women's Place, complementary health services and a 1,300-volume Resource Center Library.
