Healing Resources

As a patient of Penrose Cancer Center, or as supporting friends and families, we wish to welcome you as a full partner in healing. To help you navigate through the advanced, multidisciplinary cancer services offered at Penrose Cancer Center, we’ve included helpful information on our website including links to downloads of data forms that will assist you in your treatment preparation and make the best use of your time.

Please take a moment to review our specialty pages – medical oncology, radiation oncology, gynecologic oncology and the new CyberKnife non-invasive radiosurgery system – for detailed information on the world-class cancer treatment and support services available right here in southern Colorado. You might also want to take a moment to become acquainted with our outstanding patient navigators, learn more about clinical trials and the variety of support services that we offer.

In addition to the helpful information provided on our site, our physicians will do their best to keep you informed of your treatment progress and answer any questions you might have along the way. A good rule of thumb is to write down any thoughts and questions that arise after you leave the office so we can address them at your next appointment. For questions of a more urgent nature, please feel free to call our office and ask to speak to one of our knowledgeable, compassionate nurses. We also offer a variety of notebooks, pamphlets and brochures in our clinics for you and family to take free of charge.

Referrals

To ensure that our patients receive the best possible treatment outcomes, we commonly offer referrals to other leading physicians and specialists as an additional resource. Please note, your insurance company may wish that we refer you to their preferred list of providers and require primary care physician approval for specialty referrals. We are also happy to assist with any requests you might have for a second opinion and can provide you with a list of skilled oncologists in the area.
