More: |
Just as cancer is not one disease, but a group of diseases, Cancer Care
at Bellefonte is not just a single entity. It is a group of physicians,
researchers, nurses, dietitians, social workers and home health care providers
working to win the battle against cancer.
Each patient and each type of cancer differs. That is why thoughtful treatment
planning is conducted with each individual patient. A host of highly advanced
cancer treatments, on par with the nation's leading cancer facilities, are
available at Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital.
The hospital even has a special nursing area dedicated to oncology services,
known as the "Emmanuel Unit." The area incorporates music therapy and holistic
care as a part of patient healing. It is an extensive Christian care area
designed to treat the whole person - body, mind and spirit.
Prevention Methods
The healthcare professionals of Cancer Care at Bellefonte promote disease
prevention. Free screenings are regularly offered for the early detection
of skin, prostate and breast cancers at the hospital's Outreach Centers
and at various physician offices throughout the community.
Informative education and support groups also are an intrical part of the
program. The healthcare professionals work to ensure community members --
our friends and neighbors -- are informed accurately and kept up-to-date
about the latest cancer developments, prevention methods and treatment alternatives.
