Cancer Center - Dignity Health - San Luis Obispo, CA

Our philosophy at SLO Oncology and Hematology Health Center is that cancer care requires a personalized approach. Cancer is not just one disease; and every cancer has a unique cause, prognosis, genetic profile. Each patient requires a unique approach and a tailored treatment plan geared toward their individual situation and biologic makeup. In addition cancer treatment, in today’s world of information excess, can be a daunting and overwhelming journey. Our nurse navigators and community cancer support groups are all closely involved in our patient care models. We work closely with our subspecialty cancer care providers (locally and at tertiary care centers) including radiation oncology, surgeons, pathologists and radiologists. We have the ability to present patients to a multidisciplinary tumor board team. Our facility houses a hospital associated pharmacy and full time on-site pharmacists. We have an affiliation with NCORP linking us to access to hundreds of nationwide clinical trials. We also involve nurse navigators and local community cancer support resources such as the Hearst Cancer Resource Center.
