We offer comprehensive, coordinated care throughout the cancer experience continuum:

  • You can receive diagnosis, treatment and support at a clinic close to home
  • Our 23 oncology specialists treat most types of cancer, including breast and gynecological cancers, colorectal cancer, and cancer of the prostate
  • We provide chemotherapy in tranquil infusion centers in Palo Alto, Mountain View and Santa Cruz
  • You may have the option to try new experimental cancer drugs as part of our clinical research program
  • Patient support is provided by innovative programs such as “Focus on Living” and “Exercise for Energy”

Focus on Living

  • Learn how to cope with a devastating diagnosis of cancer
  • We offer patients and families help to ease the burden of living with cancer
  • Patients have access to an 800 number for help from a patient services navigator and to the services of a nurse navigator for guidance on treatment alternatives and to the services of a medical social worker, physical therapist, financial counselor and nutritionist. These services are not covered by insurance and will need community philanthropic support.

  • Each week, women patients come together in small groups for exercise, meditation and social networking
