Collaborative Team in a Professional Setting
We provide a patient-centered focus of education and patient care. We strive to improve the health of people in central and southern Illinois. During your cancer care visit at SIU Medicine, you may interact with your oncologist in addition to other cancer care specialists, as well as medical students or residents. All of our care providers collaboratively work together to develop your treatment plan. Part of your overall cancer treatment plan at Simmons Cancer Institute is to offer treatment of all types of cancer as well as non-cancer blood disorders. We also provide a nurse navigator and a financial advisor to our cancer patients.
