- 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.
