Allina cancer care
Our patients benefit from a network of cancer care services throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
The Cancer Program at Unity Hospital offers all of the services of comprehensive cancer care including risk assessment and genetics counseling, cancer screening, diagnostic and interventional radiology, and treatment by surgery, radiation therapy and medical oncology. Ongoing care is provided for those in remission as well as for those living with cancer. Care is given in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
Because of the physical and emotional challenges that follow from a cancer diagnosis, supportive services for pain and other symptoms, nutritional needs, and psycho-social issues are crucial for our patients and their families. Our supportive care services also include a Cancer Resource Center, which offers complementary therapies and public education programs emphasizing cancer prevention and early detection.
A critical requirement for successful cancer care is an organization which allows patients to efficiently utilize the different components of the program. The different members of our cancer care team strive to maintain excellent communication to ensure that a patient receives all required care in a timely fashion without duplication.
We are continually working to perfect this integration in our cancer program because we know that the end result will be improved longevity and quality of life for people in our community.
